I didn’t say Democrats were wrong for refusing to compromise in this situation. If I were a member of the House, I’d sit back and watch them eat themselves too.
Both sides are refusing to compromise. Just for completely different reasons. Democrats are refusing to compromise because the GOP policies are untenable, they repeatedly go back on their word, and it’s not their responsibility to save the GOP from themselves (again). Republicans are refusing to compromise because they have the collective mentality of a 7 year old, their own (now former) speaker just went on record yesterday saying that they know they’re supposed to compromise but just don’t want to because they’re the majority party and fuck you that’s why.
My statement about neither side being willing to compromise wasn’t a “both sides” attack. It was merely an acknowledgement of the current situation. The reasons why they refuse to compromise are what separates the two sides.
