I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about democratic parties working together on issues in a functioning democracy with more than two parties. And if those parties have different ideas of how to reach a goal and compromise on it to get to the same goal - then that often results in them losing voters to parties pointing out how they broke their promise of doing it a certain way and how they should have insisted on their solution

Is this an US thing? I'm fairly certain I've never seen that in Germany

Too many people see compromise as a weakness and it's destroying democracy which is built on this very principle that all different kinds of people have to come together and make laws to create a common denominator.

But for some reason political parties today catch flak left and right if they compromise on some of their positions in order to achieve at least a bit of progress instead of being unyielding on it but not changing anything since noone else would agree on it.

Imho that's one of the reasons why populist parties today gain so much ground: the very act of compromise is seen as weak by many and they capitalize on that to attack the other parties

Was that the video Musk spread on his Twitter account? I knew it was bad because of Tucker in general - but this?

You mean the one pretty much every manufacturer did that just got associated with Volkswagen since they were the first to get caught?

Wäre schön irgendwie lustig wenn die lieber mit der DDR-verklärenden Oberkommunistin in eine Koalition gehen als ihren Unvereinbarkeitsbeschluss mit Links hinterfragen die ja doch deutlich moderater unterwegs sind in Thüringen

Und wieso postet man sowas im Sommer? Das ist doch ne reine Weihnachts-Sache oder nicht?

So many humans are so incredibly bad at being content with what they have - the grass is always greener on the other side...
