When are Democrats going to learn

You can’t negotiate and compromise with Republicans because they are doing it in bad faith. This bipartisan Capitol Attack commission is another example....you give them what they wanted and they still vote no...

How about that Pelosi knew what she was doing. I've heard several times on CNN today slamming McCarthy and stating that he was not expecting Pelosi to give the Rs anything so he was supportive.

She hoisted his petard. She is a genius.

especially w/ moscow mitch lies on appointing a supreme court justice prior to an election cycle (originally wouldn't but of course lied), and the other lies too numerous to list...the whole lying bunch of them (repug rats) are NOT to be trusted ever.

Constantly amazes me. Not to mention Repug policies, or lack thereof, are not in most people's (or the country's) long term interest.

That’s where the win is and it’s big. Without negotiation, it would be called a partisan commission.

the comparison between the two sides is apples and oranges. The right has generations of wealth manufacturing attorneys, judges, teachers, journalists, think tanks, etc., and has had unlimited access to every microphone for decades. The military fights global wars for their backers business interests. Their political game is verbal warfare, and they get away with it because they can. Those who think that Democrats can do the same things as Republicans, change their talk in a heartbeat when some Democrat makes the slightest "gaffe" that the right will use against the left. There is no 'fair fight' for Democrats, there's just fighting smart, and choosing battles.

The GOP never does anything in good faith. The Dems should have a default position of "Eat Shit, GOP!"
when dealing with them.

Each and every Democrat knows exactly what repubs are up to. There has to be a process. Not sure why you posted this.

Scared to death for our republic. Tempus fugit. Carpe diem. We are in great peril.
