Bipartisanship Stupid When Dealing With The Devil.

It is becoming more obvious by the day that the GOP is the spawn of Satan. There is not a single syllable of their policy initiatives that not poison and deadly. Bipartisanship is not only stupid but its is dangerous.

in our democracy. At the turn of the 20th century both Democrat and Republican parties had progressive liberals and a RW corporate (trust) side. The Democratic party also had socialists. Bipartisanship had it's good and bad side depending on which side you were on but it brought about a lot of stability at times where there was none. It also came in handy during the New Deal period and WW2.

But today's politics is made up of two distinct and polarized versions of right wing. Bipartisanship is nonsensical in this environment. To put it nicely, just like our present government is being made obsolete, bipartisanship has already become obsolete. By utilizing it we just go farther and farther right.
