35. At times ... I think they tend to not fight hard enough.
But I think I know why.

Democrats tend to be problem solvers who look for common ground. We actively try to bring people together and not drive them apart, so that we can move forward.

The result is that Dems generally can not help but start any discussion with a description of where the right and left AGREE.

Meanwhile ... the right has ZERO interest in bring people together. Their view is "divide and conquer". The last place they want to go is "forward".

Its just one of the things that makes the left better than the right, even if at times it hurts us.
