I won’t join with those who won’t join me. Simple as that. YOU take a step toward me, and THEN I’ll take a step toward you. But you have to move first, because over the last 40 years, you’ve been doing nothing at all to compromise.
I won’t get into Gorrell’s motivation for this, but when the poor and the rich get together — without significant changes in the way things have been done — it will almost never work out well for the poor. When black and white get together — again, without significant change — it almost never works out well for the black (certainly not better than it works for the white). And we’ve seen repeatedly that when Republicans and Democrats get together, Republicans manipulate and twist the system such that the only acceptable outcome is their outcome. Why would anyone join THAT?
There have always been forces in the U.S. which have pitted people against each other. It seems like the Republicans have embraced deliberate tactics to divide people since the ’80s and accelerated their efforts since 2016.
The GQP used to be stingy about any bill/activity that would help the non-GQP, non-white male (#1), & non-white female (#2). Now it’s so extremely right wing, it doesn’t think the non-GQP, non-white male (#1), non-white female (#2) have any right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. White men wrote the Constitution & Declaration of Independence, only white men should benefit from them. (Should probably add christian to the delineations above.)
Hard to join any group that likes to try to force you to answer their leading questions, such as “do you love (insert their candidate or cause here) or do you hate America?”

It’s simply amazing. Gorrell draws this but doesn’t believe it.

Rags, I think you enjoy being a PITA and nobody likes you.

It’s the American Right that rejects any collective aspect to society, Bob. They call it “socialism,” even though it isn’t.

Thanks to the magic of “shadow banning,” no one but me can see this comment.
Maybe that explains the “echo chamber” here.

Bob, as a conservative, likes to believe that he is the head of the snake. Truth be told he is the end that spews filth.

Do bosses and workers have the same interests? This is a fundamental question.

Oh, good, Gorrell; a nice call for unity. Ok, now let’s get back to sliming the Liberals and Democrats.
