(4,923 posts)37. A younger generation who have not been brought up on the ideal of "compromise"---
since the Republican party has long since abandoned that ideal,
there is no one LEFT to compromise with---!!!
(but older Democrats such as Schumer continue to search for them...)
I seek new leaders who are very willing to SPEAK HARSHLY
against the Republican party, their politicians, and their policies---
and Democrats who fail to do so because they hope to have a drink after-hours
with those Republicans, are sadly deluded....
Anybody with two brain cells left to rub together KNOWS
that those Republicans would cut off their own limbs
before having a drink after-hours with a DEMOCRAT,
"the very spawn of SATAN"! (Ironic, that!)
