    You can’t just throw a temper tantrum and expect to get your way. Diplomacy is required to actually get things done.

      Let me know when you see Republicans try any. I haven’t seen it during my lifetime, but hey, there’s always this time 🙄

      Who said anything about a temper tantrum? Could you please try and refrain from using ridiculous pro-capitulation strawmen?

      Calmly refusing to negotiate with fascists about one of their favorite “if we give an inch, we’re traitors” issues because you know nothing good will come from it isn’t having a temper tantrum. It’s being realistic.

        So you don’t think our politicians should ever be diplomatic or just when on the subject of immigration reform?

          I don’t think politicians should grandstand for cheap points about good faith negotiations with domestic terrorists whose re-election depends on negotiating in bad faith or not negotiating at all.

          I wouldn’t brag about negotiating with cats about them going vegan either, and that would have a BETTER chance of bearing fruit.

            So regardless of the subject you want our government in gridlock and our politicians to not get anything done. Got it.

              Nope. Please pack your ridiculous strawmen away. You’re sounding mighty Republican with your bad faith arguments.

                    If politicians don’t negotiate across the aisle when majorities in Congress are slim then nothing will get done.

                    Did you or did you not imply that Fetterman shouldn’t negotiate?

                    Because two comments back you literally said it was non negotiable. What the ever fuck do you want to happen?

      This isn’t a let’s hash out an immigration deal where both sides get a little of what they want regarding immigration reform, it’s submitting to hostage takers for an entirely unrelated issue that shouldn’t really be partisan.
