    Extremes are untenable. There has to be a compromise at some point.

    I don’t know what rock you’ve been under the last couple of decades, but the democratic party has been trying to compromise with the republican party, and only ever gets fucked over for doing so. “Compromise” on the right effectively means ‘fuck you, you’re voting for what I want or nothing at all’, and even then they’ll still vote against the compromise.

    I want compromises too, but both sides have to be willing to come to the table in good faith, and the republican party hasn’t had good faith available since bush, possibly before then

      Exactly!

      Now, if we can go back to my original response.

      I’d love the same information in a format I can feed reasonable moderate republicans. And vice versa for democrats. To spur the discussion. I’m not talking about politicians and so called representatives. They are never going to solve the issues. It keeps them in power.

      I’m talking about real democracy in the exchange of ideas between people that ultimately lead us to a better nation.

      Not calling someone “ignorant” for having the desire to heal polarized friends and family and seeking the tools to do so.

      People that respond the way they did are part of the problem. Entrenched and unwilling to reflect on a complex reality of a giant melting pot of ideologies. Taking a context and manipulating it to spew your world view.

      Good luck with that approach.
