I would argue that I do.
Although in some cases there are lobbyists paying congresspeople and senators to obstruct, or there are those who want to obstruct just to be cussed. I’m looking at you, Mitch McConnell. I don’t think it’s the job of elected officials to be walked like a dog down the street by those who have no interest in negotiation or compromise, especially when human rights are on the line.
I would say there’s “majority agreement” that children shouldn’t be kidnapped from their families and kept in cages, that we need some kind of common sense gun regulation, that nobody should be discriminated on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, or sexual orientation, that we need clean water and affordable healthcare and living wages for our workers, right? I would also say that these basic human rights are under attack, and I need our elected officials to fight back, not “compromise”.
