I voted with the majority.  The problem I have had with making deals with Republicans is that, over the long term, they have refused to negotiate in good faith, holding out for all for them and none for us.  Trying to get them to deal, Democrats have caved-in far too often and far too deeply.  But I have no objection to compromise as long as it’s fair to us, and as long as we don’t budge on core values.  The only other popular choice was ‘Never’.  That may offer feel-good purity, but it leaves the politically uneducated no way to tell the difference between us and the Republicans.  It puts ideological purity ahead of the well being of the American people, just like those, who were willing to inflict Trump on us so they could avoid voting for Hillary to protect us.<\/font><\/p>\n
