The Cuban Missile Crisis was averted because John F Kennedy talked to the leader of the Soviet Union and agreed to take the nuclear missiles in Turkey down if Russia did the same for their missiles in Cuba. If this happened today we'd most likely have been vaporized already.

What sort of compromise do you suggest in cases where conservative/republican nutters want to treat women like property. Instead of being mere objects, treat them as maybe 3rd class citizens?

republicans dont even want that compromise

Wrong, the official stated platform of the Republican Party via the front runner for nomination is to enact genocide on trans people.

Well that tiny minority apparently authors the platform of the GOP and every state chapter of it, so no one is preventing them from speaking for the rest.

I find it funny you actually think that. It's more like a small minority of people who are fine with it. Republicans are evil selfish assholes who deserve no considerations. Everything they've ever done is try to control people.

I'm glad Biden is president and congress works well together when it wants. Dems and republicans working together makes this country function, and that is what the majority of people want. The extremist minority generalizes their political opponents and tried to cause divide. Cheers TC

Which tiny minority? The one that made it so an entire school district in Florida needs parental permission to read books from black authors, or the ones in backwater states trying to make it a crime for people to refer to kids with their preferred pronouns?

Then someone like Trump who is bigoted wouldn't even have had half a chance of winning in 2016 or just barely losing in 2020.

Heck, if anything, his win back then was the result of society trying to make nice with the right.

This. Yeah LGBTQ+ rights would be even better than they were at the start of say the 2010s.

@RadDude9000
Heck another example of trying the friendly way. I'd often assume back in the 2000s and 2010s that people against LGBTQ+ rights were really just misinformed individuals who would retract their view if they realized the flaws of their reasoning.

But nope it always ends the same. You point out the double standards of their issues with the LGBTQ+ community, they don't even suggest that they'll reconsider and they go from being eager to debate to suddenly refusing to talk.

So then why does any location in America even get away with passing Anti-LGBTQ+ laws or not being treated with ridicule for attempting to make such laws?

Letting bad things happen unopposed doesn't really speak well for one if you have the capability to reject it.

Then why does your party keep voting against their best interests? How do we have politicians like Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, Majorie Taylor Green and the other crazy congresspeople still exist in office? Why is your Republican frontrunner Donald Trump?

republicans have been incredibly successful at achieving their intended goals over the past several decades, and they are maybe the most uncompromising they have ever been.

democrats have spent that same stretch of time languishing in compromise and half-steps and never get anything done

if anything, the opposite being true has never been more obvious

So explain the places that have Anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the US? And for record, dodging is a feint admission of failing in a discussion, not a sign of control.

The Supreme Court rolled back Roe v Wade, which is actually a really unpopular thing to do for both parties. They continue to make rulings along ideological lines, meaning they quite literally are shaping the rule of law in the country by completely ignoring their political enemy and ruling along whatever their beliefs dictate. They don't care about compromise.

How are we supposed to compromise with that? How does that work in your eyes?

i agree in personal ways. i have not cut ties with my trump loving friends and family. when we talk, it is the talk of friends helping one another. we don't mention politics at all.

as long as a person is nice to me, i am nice back. but make no mistake. these friendly people cast votes every election for people who want to do the worst things to other of my friends who just want to live their lives. i can't accept that, so i vote against them, and they have to understand that (or just ignore it)

Because Middle American conservatives tend to be fucking cowards afraid of in person confrontation. They'll feign a smile to your face, but when drenched in anonymity via the polls, they will vote to disembowel anyone not fitting their world view.

Virtually every elected Republican official today is a shit stain. That doesn't happen because Middle American conservatives are actually good people, it's because they're two faced cowards
