And then go on to say you need total control. You can’t collaborate and compromise if the one party controls the entire gov. Nobody will believe the lie that democrats will work with republicans.
The control is needed at this particular time, because the history clearly shows that the current Republican majority and their leader are not only unwilling to collaborate with Democrats, but are simply stonewalling the process (see comment above by @thomastjeffery). When we will have a non-obstructionist Republican fraction in the Senate, the total control will not be needed.
I don't see how this can be made any more obvious. What you call stonewalling one side calls preventing damage. It's from your point of view that it's progress. The stonewalling actually serves a purpose. If both sides can't agree, nothing happens. The gov is essentially frozen. You want control to force through policies that the other side doesn't want. You claim the right doesn't want to work together, but this is opinion. There's clearly evidence of them working together. Your complaint is you don't have full control, therefore bad. "But we should work together."
Just admit it, the dems don't want to work together or compromise at all. Nanci Pelosi made this very clear recently.
> the dems don't want to work together or compromise at all
This is such a ridiculous statement that I even won't bother replying to it beyond this comment.
> If both sides can't agree, nothing happens. The gov is essentially frozen.
Well, if you see a stalemate as a positive thing and think that there is no way out, then why don't we just close Senate for the time being, furlough senators and save quite a bit of taxpayers' money?
