I see Kid is still delusional. Democrats want a combination of tax increases on the wealthy and spending cuts so that vital social services can be maintained while Republicans insist on only spending cuts and want medicare turned into a voucher program. Who is refusing to compromise again?
The Democrats. You, and everyone else so far, simply defines what the Democrats propose as "compromise". I mean just look at what you said. "Democrats propose X. So who is refusing to compromise again?" That's not compromise. Go look up compromise in a dictionary. If Republicans want to cut A, and Democrats want to cut B then there is no compromise. Is that too difficult for you to understand? A does not equal B. Compromise would be "okay give us half the tax increases we want and we'll give you half the cuts to A that you want." See how that works? This isn't partisan here. This is just basic level reasoning and understanding what words mean.

From where I, and every reasonable person, stand it sure seems like the Republicans have spent five years filibustering everything and shouting no compromises. In fact, they even claim the word compromise is some how a dirty word.
Poor, Kid. It must be hard with reality constantly hitting you in the face.
The only thing constantly hitting me in the face is your frequent inspid responses with plenty of condescension but no actual facts.
You're right, I've got nothing because there's nothing to be had. When you ask someone to explain how 1+1=3 they can't do it because 1 and 1 do not equal 3. So I tried to explain to you how government works. Next time, look up the term "checks & balances". But for now, you are gloriously victorious in your ignorance of the proper functioning of an opposition party. Congratulations.
It's really not something to be proud of. When the people realize that they can vote themselves benefits and money, it only reflects the sharp downfall of a society. You think you are "winning" but what will you have won?
Ineptocracy:
(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers

'The Republican Party’s ratings now stand at a 20-year low, with just 33 percent of the public holding a favorable view of the party and 58 percent judging it unfavorably'
Keep obstructing, keep screaming about guns, all of it. When we re-take the House we'll send you thank-you cards (via union USPS employees!!!!!). LOL
What about the numbers that show the GOP actually controls a majority of state governorships and legislatures?

Those numbers will likely change next year.

The numbers prove it: The GOP is estranged from America
