The Democrats shouldn't have to compromise with the Republicans. When the Republicans have started to go this far off the deep end then there's no reason for compromise and every reason to get 60 in the Senate so we can finally get rid of the filibuster.

Fuck compromise.
Pro: Direct democracy, e-democracy, parliamentary sovereignty, state secularism, non-violent direct action (striking), police reform, syndicalism, democratic workplace management
Anti: Most types of representative democracy, ultra-nationalism, imperialism, autocratic workplace management, the state

the democrats literally gave the republicans they asked for and the GOP still voted against it
they don't want to compromise

It’s almost like compromise is EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS and the Democratic Party adhered to all of the GOP’s requests on the commission, but they denied. I’m sorry, who needs to compromise?

So basically on par with FDR. Makes sense since he was coming into office on the heels of a fairly big failure of a presidency. Now, let's look at what those EOs are
>4 revocations of previous EOs
>Numerous ones related to COVID
>Several looking into climate change
>At least one dealing with cybersecurity after the recent cyber attack on the oil company
>One mandating higher wages for federal contractor employees
>One on "blocking property with respect to the ongoing situation in Burma"
>One looking into ways on how to handle the current border situation
>Several dealing with discrimination in the federal government and military
>Another one on "blocking property with respect to specified harmful foreign activities" in Russia

I'm sorry, did you say DeJoy or Hitler?

Because I'm pretty sure raising the stamp price makes you Hitler.

Seriously though, revenue must be at least as much as expenses, so it's not unexpected.

Then they can keep not getting anything done and lose control of congress next year.

Bringing back the relevant portion!

Before Biden came into office, only one side was interested in compromise.
Image

We're 5 months in. How's that changed? (Spoiler: It hasn't. In fact, it's only gotten worse.
So the first litmus test is policy.
Nope, they don't want to work with Biden on specific policies.
Image

Image

But that just doesn't just extend to policy, where you could argue that those policies are just unpopular. If you remember, a couple weeks ago, McConnell said ""One-hundred percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration."
Unfortunately...the GOP base agrees with him-in masse.

And the party of peaceful protests that do millions of dollars in damage, sham investigations that wasted years and proved nothing, and pardoning terrorists can?

Obviously I can't speak for others, but it's doing you no favors with anyone to repeatedly refer to yourself as a cultist.

I mean... it's kind of a negative term to use to refer to yourself.
