    If we don’t negotiate at all then there’s no way forward.

    Not true. If your ideas are good enough and you show that you’re not too weak and/or corrupt to implement them, you get big enough majorities to bypass the GOP completely, which you should then do.

    It’s worse to negotiate in good faith with those that are negotiating in bad faith than to not negotiate at all, since those negotiating in bad faith have no reason to give any concessions and every reason to demand concessions from their opposition.

    Same goes for arguing I’m good faith with people who are either arguing in bad faith or basing their entire argument on a commonly believed false premise.

    So I’m gonna let you go gaslight someone else now. Have the day you deserve.
