Truly the visionary that the Democratic party needs right now. Holding the government hostage in order to earn concessions from the other party is a cowardly way to govern.
But Gabbard said Sunday that both parties are guilty of being unyielding, adding that both sides are displaying an "unwillingness to actually just sit down and work through the details that each side is putting forward, knowing that neither side is going to get everything they need."
Both Democrats and Republicans have "completely hardened their positions and are unwilling to come together and work out the differences," she said, pointing out it's not an isolated problem.
She said the problem is "an unwillingness to just say, 'Hey, here's my position. Here's yours. Let's figure out how we can work out the differences that we can, putting forward the best solution for the American people.'"
