(62,325 posts)attacks does so because they know they are unable to address the actual issue. So I will repeat it.
Republicans have no good ideas with which to bargain. Starting out compromising with one of the worst ever Republican Congresses is not only bad strategy, it is guaranteed to lose on issues that are important to the American people. It is not necessary since a vast majority of the American people do NOT want the privatization of Medicaire, SS or Medicaid.
Republicans need to be attacked for their policies NOT compromised with. There is no logical reason to even think of compromising with anyone whose only goals are to protect the rich at the expense of the working class, the poor, the elderly.
I asked you what Republican ideas might even be considered when making these promised compromises. I cannot think of one and apparently neither can you.
I haven't alerted on your posts as I think they are instructive and people need to see what passes for discussion of important issues among a few on the left.
I no longer expect anything but vitriol and personal attacks, which btw, mean nothing to me so feel free to launch yet another personal attack rather than defend your position, whatever it is.
