We humans have a fatal flaw of too often not being able to change our minds over pre conceived ideas. A perfect example I see on Democratic threads is the idea we should compromise with "moderates", Manchin and the Republicans on the 3.5 trillion reconciliation package. What I have never seen anyone point out is that it was Obama going along with the "moderates' and compromising with the Republicans that had a lot to do with how we lost the House and Senate, and put us in the defensive position we now find ourselves. Everyone now admits his stimulus package was too small, and is WHY Biden is sticking to the 3.5 trillion! Had Obama, who entered with control of both houses done what the progressives wanted, which was a robust stimulus package, like free pre school and community colleges, etc, the Democrats could have run on those things, but his stimulus was so small it took too long to kick in and did not stand out. In fact that is why the Republicans refuse to help us now, because they know if we pass it the dems will benefit next year.
