Before we can have any "bi-partisanship"...

...we must admit there is partisanship on both sides.

Politics can make strange bedfellows, we have heard? But seldom has there been a time more critical than now for "bi-partisanship".

We need "bi-partisanship" for numerous reasons. First and foremost is to make sure they work and debate in the public's service. If there is a disaster somewhere in our country, anywhere in our country, then we want to be sure that our elected officials are working together to solve the people's needs or necessities. That is a primary reason "bi-partisanship" is needed.

However, the times call for a new type of "bi-partisanship". There is a domestic enemy in our midst. It is fascist and promotes the "Big Lie" as a propaganda tool to tear down our democracy. We must do battle to stop our nation from becoming a Third World country living under a dictatorship. That is why we must unite with the other Party to fight. It is in our common interest and the security interest of the United States.

1. first, we need an agreed definition.

currently, conservatives see it as bending ro their will no matter which is in the majority. Liberals see it as including them on the decision process, then moving forward with the best idea.

Those 2 definitions don't sync. The media holds each side to different standards as well

They can never accept the social agenda of the Democrats, just as the Democrats could never support many issues of the Republicans.

But it is more important than that. It is beyond Democrat vs Republican. It is about the survival of our democracy.

That is the enemy they need to unite to fight.

It is a mistake to underestimate the strength of this fascist movement led by Trump & Associates.

He never gives up. He must be defeated.

It is important that we work together as patriotic Americans.

3. Fine. There is partisanship on both sides. Now what?

It's like a marriage where one spouse is out every night drinking and cheating, and the other spouse says "I could have done more to keep them happy at home".

The responsibility ultimately lies with the malefactor.
