i just don't see how you can get a request that's like "ok let's compromise by you agreeing to everything we want in exchange for nothing, alright thanks" and not respond with "how about you wear my asscheeks as earmuffs instead, shitface"

you'd have been better off asking this of Sorkin before his brain disease infected every elected democrat

politico's really had some blazing takes lately. this article is pure Democrats, distilled into a fine wine


quote:

Trying to predict what will define the next presidential race at this point is like guessing at the price of milk once corner stores open up on the moon. But if the 2020 question for Democrats is about taking on Trump’s management shortcomings or calling for a different way of merging government and business experience, Patrick would be able to check those boxes. If it’s about bringing the country together, he has a record of that too, and an elevating, though not quite Obama-level capacity for inspirational rhetoric. If it’s about just veering the presidency back toward the old normal, as notable Trump opponents among Republicans and Democrats hopefully predict, Patrick’s calm demeanor could work there too.

So, I'm like, wait a minute, MA already theoretically "legalized" weed and we're still squabbling over minute implementation details and won't actually be able to buy any for another friggin' year; how does Cory Booker's bill handle all that stuff? So I clicked the link and

quote:

The bill uses federal funds to encourage states to liberalize their marijuana laws.

lol it doesn't

thanks for the empty posturing, Cory

i think anyone who's pro-life but still a dem is obviously not a single-issue voter and probably isn't going to jump shift over a pro-choice plank

i also think u can probably have a few pro-life dems in office as long as the party as a whole has enough votes to keep them from doing anything about it

i think a lot of dumb poo poo tho

just imagine that you are a toothless centrist who believes that everyone just has generic lists of demands needed to make token appeals to various demographics, rather than deeply interconnected moral beliefs that they truly believe are important. then come up with a compromise that gives one side some of the items from their checklist, and gives the other side some of the items from their checklist. maybe run a bunch of focus groups and surveys, and feed the results into a computer and tell it to calculate the optimal items to choose for both sides. voila, bipartisanship wins again!

these people are so deep in their own poo poo that they're unable to comprehend people actually caring about issues, they just boil everything down to data and checklists and concessions
