What does reality say? Are Democratic Presidents better than Republicans at managing the economy. The facts seem to say they are. That would suggest that obstructing Democrats would be a bad idea. But the purpose of working together should be to debate and implement the very best ideas and consensus on that would involve compromise, it would seem to me. If Republicans take their ball and go home because they're a bunch of spoiled brat delusional assholes, any good ideas from them will be wasted.
Republicans haven't had a good idea since before I was born.
a problem was that in the past 4 years; the attitude on boths sides have been fuck you.
Continual spiral downhill.
Both sides had so much ego invested in their side that there was no way to step back and try to put the brakes on.
the Dems tried to roughshod the Repub in the first two years.
As soon as the Repub had the ability to push back, they did with vengeance.
Presently the status quo indicates that the Republicans can continue the blockage unless
convinced otherwise.
The keyword is convinced; the Dems do not have the ability to push.
Spewing hatred will not mend fences.
