Stop using that word in that context. It’s incorrect. You can use “compromise” or “generous” but in order for something to be bipartisan, some Dems and some Reps have to support it.

And, Democrats need to show some balls in order to make that happen. Many of us keep repeating this. This shit isn't just happening in a vacuum of baseless fuckery. Many of us knew since this December that this would be the scenario if Dems didn't hold the line then. The more time and leverage they let go by, the more they were setting themselves up for this take it or leave situation with Trump. They let themselves get cornered.
Yes, Republicans and Trump are assholes. Yes, they deserve more blame. But, democrats also deserve blame for being such bitches and putting themselves in this bargaining trap.
