And it was a debate about the details. Both sides cared about X and the compromise was between spending y$ and z$.

What kills me is when people falsely say both sides are polarized and why don't they just compromise. It's impossible to compromise on health care for all, for instance, when one side doesn't even believe every human deserves to be able to see a doctor.

Why Democrats aren't able to articulate this better is a mystery. "We believe in clean water, they dont. Or trump would have never removed regulation X."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
