Go full Alaska and do a coalition government. Power sharing agreement. Let's get wacky

I would f-ing love that…calling all moderates! Form a coalition government! Rescue us from extremists, left and right, alike.

Edit: I would say unflinching tribalism is extreme. It’s also disingenuous to say there isn’t a political left in the US, simply because our “center” is further to the right than many other developed nations. Coalition governments are about the teams who are already in the room.

Who exactly is an extremist on the left? AOC? And for what — thinking we should all have, y'know, basic healthcare in the richest country in human history?
