(25,023 posts)"meeting in the middle and finding bipartisan common ground" with radical regressive economic feudalist, warmongering imperialist, have protected and even endorsed those behind torture and spying on Congress and the American people, partnered with those seeking to destroy public education, and have made repeated efforts with commissions and "gangs" to come up with ways to cut Social Security themselves.
These people are not liberals they work steadfastly against our values and most basic laws, they ridicule and oppose transparency and accountability for the powerful and the wealthy, they attack or at best ignore every union but the police, they tirelessly push disastrous free trade agreements over and over despite lying to get elected, they bail out economy destroying banksters but wring hands about the moral hazards of helping struggling people, and whistle blowers are attacked and jailed but torturers are declared patriots.
Supposedly they are liberal because they aren't bigots but they sure called gay rights a pony until the country passed them right by and many of them quick to side with police that murder black kids in the street and with policies that hobble opportunity and upward mobility for minorities while supporting those that have us locked away for bullshit.
