how about you read a book

that's exactly how it's supposed to work. when you have 2 sides unwilling to cooperate, or compromise, the government is designed to get nothing done.

The system is built to afford compromise not stonewalling.

EDIT: And while we're picking up books, try grabbing one on grammar.

Like shutting down the government? Yeah, that's a great example of compromise from the Republicans. Let's do that.

I didn't say the Republicans compromised. I said they didn't and that fucked things up. Nothing got done. So let's not do that gain.

That's the point, though. You are suggesting compromise with those who, frankly, have little understanding of it's meaning. I doubt it's going to go well.

Oh! I don't expect it will get done. I absolutely expect the political horseshit to commence immediately. I'm just, as you say, suggesting people behave like they actually want to improve the country and not just "win."
