Politics should be about compromise

many politicans are driven by dogma these days, a set rules of conservative or liberal values. instead they should compromise and aim to strive policies of both sides.

like build a wall and regulate guns... or ban abortions and co2 emissions...

you get something you want and give up something else.

I understand that there are some things that the left and the right should compromise on. However, there are fundamentals that I believe should NOT be compromised on. The day a wall is built on the southern border is the day that America ceases to be a symbol for hope.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

We cannot "give the wall to get gun control"
those are 2 different issues that I don't think deserve to be bargaining pawns for each other.

@AudreyLynn it is an example.. how about all wall plans are set aside forever and there will be no more attempts to refulate guns either ? better that way ?

AudreyLynn · 31-35, F

again. You're missing the point. These are unrelated issues and need to be discussed on their merit and not in relation to each other!

@AudreyLynn yeah.. we seen how well that works. and you dont seem to grasp the concept of what an example is...

It should. But it isn’t. All sides just care about badmouthing the other side.

@MsAnnThropy exactly.. politicans job should be like.. being polite and diplomatic. instead they rally up their own supporters while they should primarly speak to those opposing them and convince them

Some things are non negotiable

Marceline · F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout that is an attitude that is fine for a private person like you. but its toxic if a politican holds that view

Quite true.

Politicians should just be allowed to be defenseless and scared shitless of the citizenry. They are too protected for our own good these days.
