Act like leaders. Put together some bipartisan bills that both sides agree on, and look like the heroes for suggesting them.
Poll your base-not just the republicans, but the independents that voted for you. Find out what they want....and when you can, deliver.

Find out what they could tolerate for compromises. Score them by how much it affects you. These are your "I will trade this, for that" with the Democrats. Score them. Find out the same from the Democrats. You are going to find some things that your constituents want badly enough that they value a lot-and find something that the Democrats value a lot, but that you dont. Its time to find the best deal. Things your side wants, and you give them something you dont care about as much that they want a lot. These are win-win deals.

Science this.

Is that why Republicans in Georgia etc. are trying to suppress the vote?

Well, there's a false analogy if I've ever heard one.

NO ONE except Trump is to be believed. And that's terribly dangerous. And THAT is putting us in the fast lane for destruction. If every piece of information has to be filtered through one narcissist, for a significant portion of the country to believe it, we're sunk.
You're right, it is scary and dangerous. Yikes. What are people thinking? Or are they?

None of the cases had merit, if you know what that means.

Y'all keep that big 'ole fence around it for no reason at taxpayers expense. Pelosi is a very scared witch. Bless her evil heart. Y'all sure do waste the money we put toward taxes. Y'all spend a lot also. Seems like y'all don't like a growing economy with the way y'all waste money. Talk to me about it in a year or maybe sooner. 2008 ALL OVER again.

Sure, send everyone Stimulus checks to hopefully get more votes. But you know what? That money will only help pay for expensive gas, due to Biden and expensive cost of goods due to the rise in fuel. And 1400 doesn't go that far. And you give out stimulus money, homes, welfare to illegals that hadn't paid a lick of money toward taxes. Wow...just WOW! Well Corrupt Joe ever go to the border himself ..and soon? No, because they love the illegals coming in. The more the better. Let those votes keep flooding in.
No, that’s what Trump did in an election year.

At least Biden isn’t printing his damned name on the checks.

Here's some chit for you to ponder, Sherlock:

Voting isn't supposed to be THAT easy

There's supposed to be a system in place that alllows for verification of people voting LEGALLY.

Of people being verified as being American citizens.

Of not voting twice or in two or more locations.

Of actually being alive.

That's why many countries don't allow mail in ballots.
Here's some chit for you, Einstein:

Voting isn't supposed to be THAT easy
Who says? I want everyone who is eligible to vote and would like to vote, to vote. That means making it as easy as possible.

Of people being verified as being American citizens. Of not voting twice or in two or more locations. Of actually being alive
There is absolutely NO evidence of any abuse of the above

From your previous post:
unsolicited, mass mail out ballots
What was mailed out en masse were ballot applications. No one gets a ballot unless they are registered.

And I’ll bottom line my point in our interactions for you, again. The cases WERE NOT HEARD, for the most part, therefore NOTHING WAS “PROVEN IN COURT.”

Your lack of understanding of that basic legal fact is why your position is completely absurd. But your arrogance isn’t letting you accept that you don’t understand the situation, and that your opponent might understand it better than you, so you persist in saying factually untrue things and being damn sure that you’re right about them.

Just stop.
You're wasting your time trying to talk reality with these contaminated demented avenger subverted demoralized zombies. They are completely brainwashed.

Of course, no courtroom heared ANY evidence because they REFUSED to. Normal people understand that that is what ACTUALLY happened, but these lost leftist neo Bolshevik Marxist losers have NO capacity of critical thinking whatsoever.

They've been LIED to their whole life from early on, so no matter of authentic information you or I shower them with, it will not be absorbed at all.

I appreciate your efforts, though, and your swagger!

So many issues in the world could be solved if people just had a little respect even if they didn't agree.

Fighting back by being an *******, just proves you're an ******* and their fight is worth it.

Maybe in your CNN/NBC world.

Fight the crazy by getting some mental help. Examine why you are so gullible and believe so many lies. Turn off your propaganda TV "news".
