250. There is no incentive for the GOP to compromise whatsoever. We have offered nothing for them

to fear except for incrementalism. So, assuming we do regain power, we can run on incrementalism and they can oppose it, and assuming we have enough party line votes we can pass the incrementalism. Yay! Of course, since we can't get GOP votes anyway, shooting for that middle ground is aiming tragically low. But since we don't proffer up an alternative that would really scare these fuckers and their donors, there is no political win they can achieve by cooperating with Dems. They aren't staving off something far more progressive by compromising, and they are quite possibly losing a big chunk of their base(likely to a primary challenger) by doing so. Since either way, the people who pull their strings stand to lose only incrementally, I'm not sure what the motivation for doing this would be.
