It seems simple -- progressive extremism and progressive supremacy is what threatens democracy in today's West. The obstinate and divisive leaders of neo-liberalism have made absolutely no effort to reach across the aisle and greet their political opponents midway, instead opting for tasteless attacks and tone-deaf dismissal.
Democracy involves meeting each-other half-way without exception and clearly the likes of Merkel and Clinton have shown no interest in budging on wedge issues, which only accelerates their fall from leadership. Clutching onto power through underhanded further ensures our dangerous position on the edge of a precipice.
- gipp 10y agoSeems pretty ridiculous to assign blame for the lack of compromise to one side or the other. Where are the rightists "reaching across the aisle"?
- serge2k 10y agoI'm confused which wedge issues they aren't budging on? I also find this statement laughable when you consider that the republicans have made up excuses and refused to vote for a year on the Garland nomination. That nomination would also be considered reaching accross the aisle, given the Obama picked a candidate that he thought the republicans could live with. The republicans have thrived on obstructionism and blaming the other side.
