I keep hearing this from all kinds of candidates, i keep hearing this from anti bernie people.

"we need someone that will reach across the aisle."

Oh really. So please explain how this reaching across the aisle has worked for the working class in the past 40 years or so?

How often has a party held a super majority :francis:
thats not even the discussion. ...yet. didnt Obeezy have one? well almost. but not the full 60 you need to stop that filibuster.


So lets get back on topic, what has reaching across the aisle done for the average american?

notice i didnt say It hasnt done anything for us. I'm saying lets see what it has done for us or if it has done anything for us good or bad. I would assume it did some good and a lot of bad. but i could be wrong. would loved to be proven wrong. because that would mean my government that i pay taxes for is really working on my behalf MOST of the time vs some of the time.

why did you post trumps exec orders? that wasnt the discussion.

and if anyone takes a look at that history of bipartisanship from the BP center. you will realize if thats it, aint much happened across the aisle to help the average person. there were like 3 things in the span of like 30 years that may have help. Some other stuff we dont know yet. So in other words based on that history when you hear dem politicians say "i get things done, i reach across the aisle and get things done." they really mean, they reach across the aisle and have to change their original ideas so much so, that the end result doesnt even help the people they were originally trying to help. or it helps so few of them it almost doesnt even counts as getting something done. Just getting a bill passed that no longer has any teeth nor meat to it is the equivalent of never bringing the bill up to begin with in regards to regular people. So in other words, "I reach across the aisle to get things done" is for the most part is a meaningless talking point.

Except it was.
Partisan legislation is often overturned immediately by the next administration via executive order.
thats not the same thing. yes you can overturn some things via exec order for the time you're in office. and the next guy/lady can reverse it. but you cant excec order Most things you put into law. which is why obama was slow to do a bunch of exec orders during his first term. as a lawyer he knows its much harder to overturn actual laws, then it is to reverse some previous pres' exec order.

But again that wasnt the point of the thread. i asked a question. about so called reaching across the aisle in regards to the average citizen. how often has doing that really helped the average citizen? in the past few decades?

I asked because its clear as day it hasnt helped enough. we know this how? due to people being homeless at a much higher rate, broker barely able to pay rent, living in their car(not being counted as officially homeless), living with friends/family bouncing from house to house not being counted as officially homeless, youngins going to college not being able to afford housing living in their cars while going to school. a very very small percentage of people balling out of control while the rest of us are not doing so well. Its clear as day, reaching across the aisle overall has dont very little for the average joe or jane. So why do we keep allowing politicians to use this stale line? it means nothing in reality on the ground for regular folks. absolutely nothing.
