The sad part here? We can’t be friends despite political differences because the atmosphere is so toxic. We can’t acknowledge one another as honest participants in society and willing to work with another’s viewpoint. And yes, I am going to throw most of the blame on House Republicans. They have almost literally gone insane and are completely intransigent to working for the solutions of our problems. Yes, Pelosi and Reid didn’t allow votes in order to protect the President, but that is political tactics. Constantly threatening to bring down the government (and possibly the world) in order to get their way is just unthinkable, but this is the tactic adopted.
