Donald Trump's lawyers are saying that he would be justified in assassinating Americans. The GOP supports him.
Joe Biden is pardoning people who were arrested for smoking pot.
Both sides are not the same.
This is not about supporting one party or another. This is about the two parties working together and some politicians helping Americans over their careers. Working with Democrats will be seen as treason by republican base and helping Republicans avoid chaos won't move any voters to Democrats. When shut-down happens they can just blame one another which is the best scenario for both parties.
When did the Dems ever shut down the government? It takes two people to have an agreement, and only one to start a fight.
In 1980 but that's not the point. I'm not arguing who's right or wrong here. I'm saying that neither party will benefit from compromising. The bases are to entrenched and politicians are not willing to sacrifice their careers over this. If you disagree I happy to hear you out but so far you're arguing against something I didn't say.

I'd never heard of the 1980 Government shutdown. According to this article, it was due to an interpretation of an obscure law, and only affected 1600 employees at the FCC.
And again, you're doing a backdoor defense of the GOP.
They voted for the laws and are only shutting the government down to try and make Biden look bad. I could cite dozens of times the Dems compromised with the GOP and also cite dozens of times the GOP blocked needed actions for political gain.
Trump lost. He couldn't convince the lickspittle Mike Pence to break the law, so Donnie tried to have a mob take over the Capitol. Now the GOP is running a traitor for President. One side is the party of treason. Stop pretending.
It's like you read whatever you want to read, right? No matter what I say you will always see the same comment. I think it's time to get out. Internet broke you a bit.
So, you can't actually refute the facts. You claim that 'both sides' were doing something, and when I showed that wasn't the case, it's suddenly me misunderstanding you. And spare me the false sympathy. If you actually thought I was spneding too much time on the web you wouldn't have reponded in the first place.
