Compromise is not a dirty word, it means our system is functioning. If you’re an optimist, then your somewhat satisfied, if you’re a pessimist, then you’re somewhat dissatisfied. Both are exactly the same thing.
Ironically, when we, and I’ve been guilty of this too, say both parties are the same and nothing gets done, it used to mean it seemed that way bc there isn’t much difference between moderate Dems and moderate Republicans. I/we used to complain about not having real choices.
Well now we do and the choices suck worse than the previous option. Politicians realized moving further into their respective sides gets people ginned up and turns out the vote, sadly, the end result is what we have now where either side views the other as not really Americans, and compromise is illogical when your political opponents are viewed as enemies and every election and every issue is literally life and death. How can we be surprised when we get what we get.
