"Encore une fois, nous entendons cet appel familier à la bipartisanship lorsque c’est en réalité juste un moyen de détourner l’attention du fait qu’ils exigent que nous nous inclinions devant leurs valeurs et leur donnions du pouvoir."
— Nancy Pelosi
Simplified Meaning:
When people talk about working together, like between two different political groups, it can sometimes be tricky. They might say they want to cooperate, but really, they might just want you to agree with them and do things their way. For example, imagine two kids, Alex and Sam, deciding on a game to play. Alex suggests they should both agree on a game so everyone is happy. But in reality, Alex just wants Sam to play his favorite game and isn't open to any other ideas. In politics, this can happen too. One group might say they want to find common ground, but they may actually just be pushing for their own agenda and want the other side to follow their rules. To avoid this in real life, it's important to really listen and make sure both sides are genuinely trying to understand each other and find a fair solution, rather than just trying to win.
