How do you reach across the aisle when your adversaries are;

Shills for corporations

Shills for Wall Street

Shills for the NRA

Shills for coal, oil, and natural gas industries

Trying to implement a theocracy

Suppressing voting rights

Shrinking the rights of women

Attacking undocumented immigrants

Guilty of starting illegal wars

Enriching the wealthy

Wiping out unions

Supporting racism and fascism

Ignoring or don't believe in climate change

Opposed to health care for all ???



They are the enemy.

They are evil.

They are liars.



The Trump cult and republican party needs to be destroyed.

They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

1. IMO we don't reach across the isle. They have absolutely NOTHING this country needs.

20. Biden just talked about how great he'd be at working across the aisle, and how he was sent to do it for Obama.

He didn't mention that when he tried to do it for Obamacare, he wasn't able to get a single R vote.

25. the way to end this 'across the isle' bullshit is for liberals to put a RUSH tattoo on republican's foreheads. point out at every occasion that trump paid sam nunberg to listen to 1000s of hours of talk radio in 2014 to help design their campaign and coordinate with russian trolling

point out at every occasion most everything they and trump are doing was fed through limbaugh and came out his ass. point out that stephen miller and mick mulvaney have both admitted to being 'dittoheads' with miller saying one of the most formative books in his youth was a book by limbaugh! and mulvaney admitted he was a proud rush baby - his politics formed on limbaugh ignorance and lies

when dems and media play into this bullshit about 'what the people want' and that they have to account for republican constituency elements they need to be reminded most of those people are living in a alternate reality with an alternate set of 'facts' and most of it came out of team limbaugh's ass

right now media's talking about miller influencing trump immigration policy as if it has nothing to do with 20 years of using rw radio to attack immigrants, and dems for helping illegal immigrants to vote by the millions - basically all to sell voter suppression legislation and coordinated by state because they have those radio stations

and until democrats stop ignoring talk radio conservative democrats and those who want to avoid conflict and accusations of not 'working across the isle' are going to keep being enabled and intimidated and influenced by constituencies that are primary, secondary, and tertiary recipients of a propaganda operation that is increasingly being influenced by fascists and russians and basically comes out of the blowholes of a few hundred professional liars on 1500 coordinated radio stations

17. They need a drubbing so bad that they have rebuild their party from the ground up, with new leaders, new attitudes, and a love for our constitution and ALL people.

19. How do you reach across the aisle to these people? Blunt heavy instruments.
 
Start with dimensional lumber and work up. If they could be reasoned with, they wouldn't be "these people". You can only knock them unconscious and hope it imparts sense to them. It's a feeble hope, not to be relied upon.

28. How do you reach across the aisle?
 
By taking the majority in the House and Senate, and not repeating the mistakes we made last time. A "take it or leave it" approach would work. Since they removed the filibuster, we should pass as much as we can, whether they are with us or not. Start by voting sanctions against Russia. There is lots of bi-partisanship on that issue. Then we can say "See we can work with the other side." On issues we KNOW they will oppose, let them oppose and pass it anyway. Like they do now.

Well, you could crawl up to your conservative family members and friends, admit you know nothing about them, and apologize for treating them like crap.

Since you lack the decency to do that and the awareness that the above is true, DU-onlurkers, do those family members and friends the minimal favor of getting your ignorant and bigoted asses out of their lives.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The DUmp once was about six years ahead of the insanity of the democrat party.  Now they are a mere two years ahead on the insanity curve.

This will soon be the main stream of the demofascists. Buy your guns now. Buy as many as you can afford.  Buy your ammo now. Buy as much as you can afford, maybe more.

The fascist left (birm) want us dead.  Believe them. i sure as hell believe people that have detached from reality and tell you something no matter how insane it is.  They want a civil war.  Don't be like the Jews in the mid 1930s. It did not turn out well for them and it will not turn out well if you are stuck behind enemy lines.

...blather...wipe out unions...blather...

Unions wiped themselves out, toots.  Once a noble and fair idea has outlived their useful lives.

Didn't I read AFL/CIO Trumka wants to embrace the illegal meat cutters?  Hello?  Any wonder why the union members have deserted to Trump in droves?  Stupid they ain't.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
