All this does is make both sides dig in more to their partisan side of the bunker. This you're going to listen to me or we're going to hold everything hostage schlock though is bullshit, Repubs get called out for being assholes all the time, time to do the same here for Dems. Not to mention forcing riders and amendments that have nothing to do with bills that are being voted on drives me crazy and shouldn't be allowed.
I don't mind talking and having the debate because there are things we can do, but it's clear that it can't be done civilly in the US Political climate as the country now sits 50/50 pretty much on every damn thing. I don't know what the hell we do about it.
