No, it's not a partisan fight. It's a fight to keep psycopaths in check.
Let's take, for example, the Zadroga act. Out of all the legislation I can think of, this is about as no-brainer as you can get. It's not ideological. It's just basic human compassion and decency.
Now in case you don't know what this act is, it's about providing for the first responders of 9/11, many who have become sick or died as a result to various toxic materials.The compassionate and dare I say patriotic thing to do is to pass the measure. Now due to republican shenanigans the first go around the act was limited and set to expire (and it did).
So you'd think "Hey, this is republican bread and butter here so they'll renew it". But the psychopaths won't even allow it on the floor. They said if they can find the money for it then they'll be more than happy to bring it to the floor. Kind of a piss poor response, but we are running quite a large debt so that's at least a little bit understandable. Dickish, yes. But understandable.
That was several months ago. And what did these pricks just pass? A huge fucking cash giveaway to the rich and massive amount of debt to go along with it. I bet those first responders are so happy...well actually they're beyond caring because quite a few of them have died waiting for the republican congress to act.
Partisan? That was at least a decade ago. The fight now is trying to preserve some sense of basic human decency.
