if Republicans are such a threat to our country and democracy (a claim which i agree with!), why do democrats keep trying to compromise with them and capitulating to their every whim? why not try to get them banned from politics, designated as a terror group, and annihilated from political action with the military force we so liberally apply to any other political problem America faces? why chase the votes of their supporters? why court their officials for votes and support for bills, why 'reach across the aisle'? why do they always agree on almost every aspect of foreign policy?

as usual, the neoliberal consensus is complete spectacle, misinformation, the sloppiest of propaganda slop. the american political system is a blatantly 1 party state with a good-cop bad-cop routine.
