The assumption that debate gridlock hurts both sides is not true. Debate gridlock works to the advantage of the incumbents. This is why it will continue. Both sides would compromise if gridlock was hurting both sides. Debate gridlock also doesn't mean that the incumbents are not effectively driving policy to their advantage while we are endlessly, but pointlessly, arguing with them.
Things like the call for net neutrality rules weren't a starting position. They were a response to the overwhelming success of the incumbents in maintaining their policy dominance. |
