The parties used to work together, it was unthinkable to not compromise for their constituents. Today we hear politicians talk as if it would be treason to work with members from the other side.

There is no both sides in this either. One side wants to govern alone to their own interests, not those of their constituents.

I largely agree with what you're saying.

Honestly, though, this is nearly all blatant political obstruction from the Republicans. Biden calling republicans' bluff with the border/aid bill is proof-positive of this. And it's so absurd and even self-defeating for Republicans that after having listened to Maddow's Ultra podcast on the proven nazi infilitration of Congress during the 1930s, I thoroughly believe Russia has a stranglehold on the Republican party right now.

    It is absolutely obstruction and I'm not convinced they will have enough voters willing to believe whatever their false narrative will be.

    My hope is that we can get enough of a hold in both houses and pass an immigration/border bill that is more progressive and maybe leaves a few Republican wants out. Then we can point out they had a chance, but didn't take it. Of course that all only satisfies my own ego and is a bit petty.

    On your Russian theory, after watching this I'm even more convinced that Russia is heavily involved and I might be toeing the line on a few conspiracy theories. We may never know the full extent, but I do hope the truth is revealed.
