Do Democrats and Republicans talk to each other?

Should they?

Is it possible to ever find a solution if either, or both, sides refuse to communicate with each other?

What's the use? They are only going to do what Trump tells them anyway?

Do you see this as a problem with one side only?

Is the only solution just to wait until the next election?

they meet singularly in a closet where no one can see them with the addendum that they are not to be quoted by name.

Otherwise, the GOP parrots Donald Trump in total 100% in public.

Chickenshit doesn't begin to define the GOP.

I'm happy to talk with someone whose views on policy matters are different from mine. However, I have nothing at all to say to anyone who thinks, for example, that it's okay for a president to raise a mob to attack the Capitol and beat and mace the police, then pardon them for their crimes.
