Hillary 2016: How she transformed Democrats into “new” Republicans

[Sheepshank]

72. The ridiculous assertion by so called purists, requires that public officials live in a bubble

and the best way to promote full discussion, get the opposition to stop demonizing differences of opinions, and to change minds is not by friendly and open discourse and building relationships, it's by "bludgeoning" the "enemy" with dictatorial requirements and nothing else.

You seem to completely misunderstand the nature, need and concept of building professional relationships. It appears you are following Bernie's long term method of treating peers like idiots and fools who have no merit to their governing styles...this has utterly failed. Bernie has built no relationships at all amongst his peers and this election cycle clearly brought home that lack of support.

Good luck with you purist raging. You will be doomed to a mountain of impotent rage until you figure out how to work with people (especially those with opposing points of view in life and politics), rather demonizing them for their process in negotiations.
