Found your problem. I think you're confusing democrats with Academia leftists.
What I learned is you cannot find common ground with people who utterly hate you and your way of life.
Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life. I know because I hang out with plenty of Canadians who don't agree with my views on political stuff. However, we can discuss non-political things easily.
I hope young Republicans will learn the lesson
I hope they don't. They're not supposed to be leftists who want to hate the other camp. They need to keep trying to build bridges. That's how we'll get more folks to agree to compromise and common ground.
Yes, I'm friends with a few Americans who vote democrat.
Press X to doubt on "Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life."
Dunno, they don't hate me and we have plenty of common things we share and like.
"Compromise and common ground" to them means the right capitulating to the left.
If you're principaled and think social cohesion and harmony is important, you don't become them. You'll keep trying.
Because the day you become bitter like that is the day you become a leftist basically. You will have compromised on a core principal.
Your compromise arguments sound like the inane drivel spewing from "bipartisan" Swamp snakes like Romney, Cornyn, Sinema and Manchin.
You'll never accomplish anything that requires collaboration without compromise. You'll never get 100% your own way when it involves other people. Don't be a spoiled child. Literally Trump was all about compromise. So are you including Trump in your list of Romneys ? That would be dumb AF.
Then the vast majority are NPCs or they wouldn't sit still for the shit their "leaders" lay on us constantly. I hear zero voices of reform from rank-and-file Democrats. In fact, all reasonable people have abandoned the DP for independent status. Some are joining the Libertarian Party, but most remain non-affiliated.
The utter moral and rational bankruptcy of the DP is followed very closely by the RP and its sea-anchor neocons and others of that party who are opportunists and RINOs, with a few exceptions. The Rs are a paper tiger, an edifice rotten to the core with mercenary feckless war-mongers.
It's great to hear other points of view, but you can't be friends with people who hate you. Proper Twitter and MSNBC-fed leftists hate people that aren't like them. It would be hard to accidentally be friends with you because they'd shun you.
I am fully capable of putting politics aside and being friends on another level. The question is: are they?
Quite the opposite. It's nice to see one side isn't so deep into politics, they can't find common ground with others who don't fully agree with them.
Echo chambers suck and if your principals are strong enough, getting them challenged once in a while shouldn't be an issue for you.
You should ask yourself why you're so insecure, you can't tolerate any challenge or disagreement. You sound more like a leftist because of it.
This is the most amusing comment I read in a while.
Let me give you some context on my background.
I worked in academia for years.
If you think I have ever been in any echo chamber of my own views, you are mistaken.
I have managed to remain and defend my staunch anti-woke national populist views despite working for years in an echo-chamber of deluded leftism.
What I learned is you cannot find common ground with people who utterly hate you and your way of life.
You can find common ground with people if they are willing to debate in good faith.
That is sadly not what you will find on any college campus these days.
Wokeism is the new religion of the left and anyone who does not bend the knee will be treated as a subhuman.
I left academia because it is a festering homogenous cult.
I believe it is important to learn about opposing views.
That doesn't mean I am going to be foolish enough to date or maintain friendships with people who hate my way of life.
Being betrayed by friends over politics changes you.
I hope young Republicans will learn the lesson I learned without suffering permanent consequences.

Have you met any Democrats lately?
Press X to doubt on "Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life."
I am an Asian American and sadly many of my relatives are still Dems. I heard unfiltered what they think of the right. It is nothing but blind hate.
"Compromise and common ground" to them means the right capitulating to the left.
There can be no compromise and common ground when it comes to preserving our constitutional rights that the left is constantly trying to destroy.

Another hot take from one of my #1 fans.
It's not that he doesn't want to be around people of opposing views, it's that it's not good for his sanity.
These people are angry, bitter and twisted, taught to act nearly identical to feminist women in their subterfuge.
The vast majority aren't.
Not that you'd know, you probably also think they're all women.

But they are.
And honestly, that's not far from the truth either.

OK, so why do you hate 'women without degrees' (D+3) more than men with degrees (D+16)?
Don't tell me!
Except you haven’t seen where the political headwinds have shifted in the last 20 years. They don’t want to debate us, they want to destroy us.
I don’t tolerate Communism. And I’m not going to have by intellectual sensibilities be taken advantage of by Communists to infiltrate our society.
That includes you.
Did you just call me a communist ?
Like when the left thinks everything left of Mao is the extreme right, you seem to think everything left of Milton Friedman is communism ?
Do you know how ridiculous that sounds ?
Yes, yes I did. Own it.
Congratulations on being an SJW I guess. Horseshoe theory is real.
You're saying it's nice that Republicans have no principles they won't discard for the sake of convenience?
Calm down Cathy Newman.
