99. You're right, why I remember from history that FDR rolled
over for corporate interests when they began challenging the New Deal programs. Oh, wait...

Screw that. FDR told the elites to fuck off and threatened to pack the Supreme Court if they didn't go along with the New Deal. Guess what? They backed down and FDR and the Dems got the programs needed to put people back to work.

You want compromise? How the heck do you compromise with people who really in truly honestly think you are evil and commiting a sin by even voting for a Dem? How do you compromise with people who think that we must destroy the Middle East to keep "them" from coming to this country and slitting your throat while you sleep? How do you compromise with people who think that raising the minimum wage takes money away from them even though they themselves are only in the lower middle class?

Those are the kinds of people who support republicans. Those are actually things I've been told by repubs I know. You want to compromise with that? Go ahead. I'll stick with the angry candidates.
