Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDemocrats are doing their damnedest to compromise with the Republicans.
They do not want to see violence. They want the rhetoric toned down. They want us all to put the country first. Just to prove they are serious about it, they vote to commemorate Charlie Kirk on October 14th.
It's hard to communicate with a turnip.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting them to compromise on anything is insane. They have had ten years to see and to analyze and to correct their problems. Republicans have done nothing but make the political crisis worse.
If the Democrats are unable to deny reality, they are of no use in this debate.
You would like to ignore them but that would be dangerous with your house burning down.

(28,299 posts)It got us a catastrophic war, and didn't win us any elections. It doesn't seem like our party ever learns.
I don't intend this to be construed as attacking Democrats, but I believe we need to be able to discuss these things openly.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
