Biden, Schumer and the so-called "Problem Solvers” in the Democratic caucus need to wake the hell up: When you negotiate with GOP terrorist-lovers & enhance their credibility you will lose every time.

There's an old saw that says, "You don't negotiate with terrorists.” It's corollary is, "And you don't give terrorists credibility by appearing to negotiate with them or treating them as if they're serious about reforming themselves.”

Somebody needs to tell the Democrats, and quickly.

Right now the Republican Party is pushing a few very simple and straightforward messages in advance of the 2022 midterm elections, which they hope will give them control of the House and Senate next year and set them up to take the White House in 2024.

They're also hoping these simple, direct messages will activate enough voters at the state level that they'll take a few more state legislatures so they can call a Constitutional Convention and rewrite the US Constitution to their liking.
