It's deal time. Name one thing on your preferred party's (or personal) ideological agenda/platform/whatever that you'd be willing to trade.

Making sure things on networks don't go to Chinese based servers is about a 4 or 5 mouse click endeavor.

I would let Trump build a "freedom city" on undeveloped federal land, but he has to name it San Framcoscp

I would let conservatives keep guns in exchange for universal healthcare.

Universal healthcare and universal period of national service (well-regulated militia, etc).

I support all of the socialism that the republicans provide to farmers.

I would agree to almost anything for universal healthcare.

I would consider standing for the national anthem, even when I'm just at home watching TV, for free college for all.

I would trade a full outlaw of abortion for universal healthcare, I think. The aggregate benefit of universal healthcare (lives saved, suffering reduced) would probably be enough to offset the dead mothers with birthing complications, unwanted children, and suffering rape/incest victims. I don't know the numbers for sure, so I might change my mind if I was way off on the cost/benefit analysis.

I guess that would be nearly universal healthcare. Ya know, because 1000 out of 1000 reputable OBGYNs unanimously agree that abortion is healthcare.

Even the ones who disagree with the choice to have the procedure done still acknowledge that it is a routine, safe, and in many cases medically necessary procedure.

Like, I hope like hell I never NEED a root canal, but should that day come, I will be so thankful that there are dentists/odontologists who are trained and willing to perform that procedure.

And sure, there will be those few kooks who refuse to perform the procedure, citing that maybe I should have thought of that before damaging my tooth

Letting them keep their guns is not giving anything up. They are already going to keep their guns

Give them their own country.

I would give them moving the voting age back a little bit for eliminating the concept of corps being ppl, campaign donations being free speech, and eliminating PACs. Or healthcare.

What’s funny is the crap I would want is stuff that they would gain from. It is literally a win win for them.

I actually "receive" on both of these things but I think traditionally they are seen as right v. left items

I think everyone wants terms limits except for the people who could actually make it happen.

Keep insider trading in Congress.

Can't hold any office at all unless you will be 65 or under upon your swearing in.
