We have so to speak, two different sets of opposing leaders who have little in common in their agendas and who cannot make workable compromises. For one side it is all or nothing, or "my way or the highway".

Once again, you are not paying attention to, or keeping track of, all your bullshit. So, how has the all or nothing "my way or the high way" approach been working out for Biden and you guys? Are you winning or losing the battle with America? So, what should you expect from Us in return?

The red side accuses the blue side of my way or the highway, while the blue side does the same to the red side. The blue side believes it has the right to pass a transformative bill through reconciliation, and it does have that right, and to pass voting rights bills through suspending the filibuster-- which the red side also repealed in order to stack the Court. But two phony Democrats are blocking our side. So, negotiations with them and possibly with Republicans continue in order to at least get something done.

To our side, continued stagnation and blocking of progress, after 40 years of this, is no longer acceptable. Problems have piled up and require action, not staying the same. Climate change will destroy civilization if not curbed. The USA is the most unequal and economically and socially/healthwise impoverished of ANY developed nation, by far. Voting rights are being squelched by a tyrant and his Party who would use any means to seize power. Police are unfairly killing unarmed people of color, and racial profiling and gaps and needless gun violence continue.

These and other concerns demand action, not the continued enabling of a few rich people to rule over us indefinitely, as empowered by neoliberal trickle-down, anti-tax, anti-welfare and white christian supremacy ideologies embraced unthinkingly by rural hillbillies lost in parochial, provincial mindsets and who have influence over our nation greater than their numbers should allow.

Since your side demands that the 40-plus-year status quo continue indefinitely, we are in a battle. How hot our cold civil war gets depends mostly on your side. It is a battle FOR America, not a battle WITH America.
