re: #201 HappyWarrior

What I miss is frankly the New Deal consensus about the role of government. That government isn’t evil and it can in fact be used to improve our lives and that was something we all agreed upon until the right in both parties took advantage of the fact that many less well off whites were upset that liberals in both parties wanted that to mean something for people of other races, genders, and sexual orientation.

what i miss most is the art of compromise

Ben Franklin - urged his fellow delegates to be willing to sacrifice, not their principles, but their overwhelming urge to be right
