Sometimes getting a small improvement is better than stagnation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) Why do Democrats have to compromise with Republicans but Republicans never have to compromise with Democrats? Why must they work with the party that has shifted towards fascism? Why must they compromise on half baked laws that don't do the things people wanted, but corporations got what they demanded? Why do the Democrats work with fascists while refusing to stand up for the good of the country? And then their sycophants will tell you that it's a normal thing to give the people who want to bring back American laws from the 1950s what they want, and you're a idealist fool if you think we should advocate for good laws. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago The best to all of that is Democrats generally operate on good faith and Republicans don't. It is easy to hold your ground if you don't care who it hurts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) Funny that right wing policies never require compromise, something you state is essential. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago If they didn't compromise, being gay or trans would be illegal, abortion would be banned nationally, and only white Christian men would vote. permalink fedilink source parent
