Democracy can be messy. It requires compromise and patience. As long as everyone is trying you will eventually reach a compromise, where no one gets everything they want but everyone gets something.
Now in our current situation we have one party that refuses to try. This makes things a bit difficult, and they defend their position by declaring everything proposed extreme socialism.
Some of the programs being proposed have elements of socialism but they are not socialist. This is a capitalist country, and we will continue to allow our corporations to profit off us. We pretend that the private sector brings efficiency and cost control to the process but how do you explain we pay more and get less in our hybrid system?
The private sector brings a profit motive and not much else. We just pay more.
