Bernie Sanders is nothing but a heckler

I do not understand why some politicians take such pride at accomplishing nothing. Lots of "no compromise" talk that's big and blustery, but in the end nothing is accomplished. Either we remain stationary, or we move backward... and still he or she will boast and brag about "sticking to their values" and their "all-or-nothing" philosophy (ignoring the unnecessary suffering it causes the most vulnerable among us.)

And there he or she sits... big grins... beaming with pride at his/her handfuls of NOTHING. They attack those who are willing to compromise and make small incremental advances. Or, I've even seen what appear to be deliberate acts of "sabotage" that prevent any compromise from moving forward. (Why would he/she do that? What good purpose does that serve?)

Personally, I'd rather have half-a-loaf instead of NO loaf at all. Hell, if it meant that we'd be a few steps closer to our ideal goals, I'd happily compromise and accept just a single slice. I see no particularly useful value in the false pride of offering nothing and getting NOTHING in return, and getting NOTHING accomplished.

There will be no "revolution" ... with the attitude we've seen, there will be only continued suffering because of those who oppose compromise and who refuse to engage in the normal process of political give-and-take that creates trust and progress.
