the Born Alive Survivors’ Protection Act is a great example of how the divisions in American politics are not manufactured, they are ideological. Democrat and Republican politicians do not have “the same vision for America, just by different routes.” Their visions are two opposite worlds.
if the Born Alive Survivors’ Protection Act cannot be a bipartisan bill, then all bipartisanship in the federal government is an illusion.
and it’s not the Republicans who did that to us.
#I don’t want to freaking hear ANY condemnation of Republicans over ‘not working across the aisle’#what Democrats mean when they complain about ‘party tribalism’ is just ‘Republicans winning’#because Democrats NEVER work across the aisle#and the ones who do (Joe Manchin; RFK Jr) get anathematized by the WHOLE PARTY#stop trying to work together with Democrats and start winning instead.#because if you give them an inch they take a mile and they will NEVER give you an inch#and thus Republicans clutch defeat from the jaws of victory time and time again#respublica#mobile#x#pro-life#this is why nobody can be a lauded Speaker of the House. it’s the worst job in government because it’s just mediation#between two irreconcilable worldviews
