If Republicans were gutting Social Security, would you want Democrats to go along with it?

That is what is happening right now with healthcare for over 40 million Americans. Trump and the Republicans want to end "Obamacare" and the subsidies it provides to millions of Americans. And they do not want to negotiate or talk about it. It is their way or the highway. For years, they have preached that "compromise" is a dirty word. That is why the government is shut down right now.

Democrats have no other power than to say we don't agree with the way you are treating the American people and we cannot go along with your plan. We need to sit down and see if we can come up with a solution. But Trump has said, "No Compromise!". And MAGA Mike has sent all his people home and there is no Congress in Washington. And they are still getting paid.

Maybe someday they will realize that this is a large and diverse country with many different needs and that compromise is a necessity for our democracy to work? If they are too stubborn or brain-dead to realize that, then why are they in charge of every branch of government??
