You cant 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...

(42,372 posts)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.

(22,166 posts)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.

(32,626 posts)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.

when dealing with them.
