I may hear it from both sides for this but I can't imagine I am the only one who sees the potential:

A Biden / Haley ticket.

Biden has always said he is bipartisan. So prove it.

Run on a Bipartisan Democrat/Republican ticket to prove to Americans that the divide can be mended. That there can be common ground and purpose in service of the country.

If I was American right now, that's what I would be hoping for.

I get it short term strategy wise but Haley is too much of a self-hating misogynist absolute racist dirtbag to be put on a Dem ticket.

I'd also stay home. I do not want her NEAR the Presidency and the Dem party would irrecoverably jump the shark if this were to happen.

We need a Medicare-For-All Progressive VP.

@artisanrox so what kind of initiative would attempt to bring the Republican and Democratic parties together in some way. Not as a matter of diluting policy, but as a matter of reconciling the divisions that have made the country basically ungovernable and seem likely to move it toward Civil War?

@chris

There is no mending this strategically.

We have a political party that wants to END the existence of massive amounts of people for one resaon or another.

You cannot debate or "find middle ground" with nazis, cannot compromise with them, validate their worldview. I'm in a way less concerned about civil war than a slow cancerous invasion of political power because at least a civil war would be more honest than THIS, and there are MANY more armed libs than nazis here in the US.

@artisanrox @chris We furiously agree. *sigh* punch a Nazi.

@Dianora @artisanrox @chris

I agreed so hard I pulled a muscle.

Except for one bit - the assumption that there are many more armed libs than nazis here in the US. I contend there's a shitton of armed nazis who are blithely ignorant of the fact that they're nazis. They think they're "Conservatives".

@kelvin0mql @Dianora @chris

and "Libertarians"!

@artisanrox @Dianora @chris

I don't get what everybody has against Librarians.
