I apologize for my comment's inferring I think SH is the enemy ... I only used his statement because of proximity.
What's problematic about the "find common ground" part from where we are ... our government is so expanded and intrusive, compromise only makes it LESS so. And what's the most recent example of government being pushed back into its circle? A few gun laws, which STILL require government issued license. So, marginally less intrusive. Kinda like a Beall's store sale ... 80% off ... after the items were marked-up 150% ... STILL a higher price than two weeks before the "big sale." That's not a "sale," and compromise on many of these things, where they are, according to the conservative stance ... isn't progress either.
I agree with you regarding electors ... the problem IS with the electorate ... US.
what platform is more appealing?
"I'll enable you to provide for yourself and gain a greater sense of self worth"
"I'll take from the rich and give to you because you're OWED it."
