When I am done crying into my beer, I will try to find issues where a compromise is possible.
IS DOES NOT HELP to use hyperbole and name calling.
I think the war on drugs is a racist policy, because so many chocolate people are convicted of drug crimes. It is important to call the policy racist, but to NOT call the politicians racist.
The nasty name the Republicans called Senator Udall is NOT helpful. Senator Udall was trying to give women control over their own bodies. To call him an insulting name is to lower a political debate into unproductive name calling.
Let us try to keep the debate civil. I will do my best to not use nasty name calling.
To clarify. Democrats already have compromised on health care. Most of us wanted universal health care, like Medicare, for everybody. We agreed to accept a plan Romney implemented in Massachusetts, but we are not happy with having to give up universal health care.
Republicans did not compromise on health care, they just want it repealed.
The art of compromise is a tough challenge. Often, in a good compromise, both side are unhappy, because they did not get everything they wanted.
For instance, I want complete control over my own body, but I am willing to accept the compromise in Roe v Wade. It is also important to NOT forget the horrors of back alley abortions.
Getting everything you want is NOT compromise.
GOOD LUCK TO THE USA. We are going to need it. :)
