In D.C., ‘Bipartisanship’ Has Become a Bad Thing - When It Isn’t, We Should Seize the Opportunity
www.lessgovernment.org
It Doesn’t Have to Always Be This Way Bipartisanship in Washington, D.C. has for the most part devolved into a pipe dream, a dirty word - or both. A pipe dream because after decades of gerrymandering - partisanship is what you get. Gerrymandering is elected officials choosing voters rather than the other way round. Those already elected carve Congressional districts into bizarre shapes to - at the grainiest of micro-levels - decide which voters go where. You can’t create a plethora of 60+% partisan districts - and then act surprised when the resulting elected officials are partisan. Bipartisanship is now rightly a dirty word for conservatives - because in DC Speak it means “Capitulate in as many ways as possible to Leftists.” The examples of this unbelievable double standard are without end. From the just deceased Lame Duck Session - here is how two Senators were treated for their opposition to the absurd and awful, rushed and harried, bipartisan $1.1 trillion “Cromnibus.”
