West Wing has done irreparable brain damage to libs across the country. It’s why Obama’s advisors told him to give republicans half the discretionary budget when they had a supermajority and didn’t need a single republican vote, compromised/means tested every bill he promoted, and went with the bloodiest possible option in every foreign policy decision. In an episode of West Wing, all that compromise and appealing the the better nature of the opposition would reward you. In reality, it just demotivates your base and lets the opposition demand even more.
