  Bipartisanship Or Submission?

  Answer: submission. Bipartisanship would mean that half the time the Democrats got their way on important issues. Instead we get jack shit.

  And why should I value bipartisanship anyway? Of the two parties, there is one that is filled with anti-American lawless extremist monsters. I don't want anything to do with those scum and certainly don't want to donate to the extremists what they couldn't win at the ballot box. If they want their policies passed let them do it the old-fashioned way: win the election and pass your program.

  Bipartisanship destroys democracy. The people are given a choice and they voted for the party they prefer. They didn't choose a "biparty". The two party system already waters down that choice by forcing candidates to move to the center in search of the median voter. What's more, we know that voters' true position on the issues is way to the LEFT of where things stand now and way to the LEFT of what the cowards in Congress are willing to fight for -- and of course WAY WAY WAY to the left of what the Republican extremists want. Going half way toward the Reublicans is moving in the wrong direction -- if you care about the will of the people anyway.

  Bipartisanship is anti-democratic and has no justification. And of course that is doubly true when, as we all know, bipartisanship really means the Republican extremists get their way, rather than the Democrats getting their way half the time or getting half a loaf.

  Bipartisanship is for submissive Republican and Village bootlickers looking for a way to mask their cowardice.
