*Partisanship isn't nice to have.

partnership.

Also i agree. because you wouldn't always make good decisions when everyone agrees. you need the irritating opposition to pick apart all the bad stuff.

As long as impasses aren't an everyday reality. Cooperation and compromise are sometimes needed.

It's "enlighten" not inlighten


well i'm sorry i was never the greatest speller in the world

two main parties republican and democrat if one tries to pass something the other usually shoots it down tis a vicious cycle


wait if politics are dominated by 2 parties then why are there more to stem the tide


Come on guys, these aare complete overstatements of how things are around here. You are thinking of the loud-mouth politicians that take things too extreme and end up on the news because of it. The rest of the 45 senators and the entire house of representatives don't really say much and aren't renowned, therefore, aren't represented on television. Are these guys idiots too? Maybe. Maybe not.

I can guarantee you though that these guys are smart people. What you see on the news are the results of what goes on in the courts. You don't get footage of the inside, unless something crazy goes on, like that one time with the health care bill. Give these people credit alright? They don't just do things on a whim, they work very hard and debate over every little detail.


then if arguing of the slightest detail does that affect us or them?

Uh...first of all it's "enlighten".
Second of all, here are the government types explained with cow logic.
And with the US, basically there are two elections; a party election(where the people in a party vote to see who in their party will go up against the opponent) and a primary.

No... partisan. Not partner.

Partisan as in basing your opinion on being in a political party.. i.e. partisan bickering = liberals vs conservatives
