Exactly. There's no room for bipartisan, poll-tested, meet-in-the-middle common-sense compromises in the interest of the American people — because the two parties share a consensus neither about who "the American people" are nor about what serves their interests.
With Republicans doing politics in an entirely different mode on the national stage, *it is impossible* for the conventional pluralist politics of the Democratic Party, oriented to compromise as it is, to succeed. The preconditions for doing politics in that mode are not present.

Renee Good could have been Charles Manson and ICE still shouldn't have murdered her.
Pretending her "ties" to anything are worthy of investigation privileges the Trump regime's lie that there might be a reason why it was OK to shoot her.
