would not spend"months and years" negotiating with Republican lawmakers on urgent problems if he had any say in the matter.
Asked whether he was ready to compromise with Republicans, Sen. Sanders said:"It's not a question of the middle, it's a question of responding to the crises. I don't know what the middle is when you deal with climate change—and scientists tell us we have a few years to address that crisis or else there will be irreparable harm.
"I don't know what being in the middle means when half of our population is working pay check to pay check, when 40 million people are facing eviction, when we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality."

The Vermont senator added:"But we're not going to spend, if I have anything to say about it, months and months and years, and not address the incredible pain that the working class and the middle class, small businesses are now experiencing."

Meeting these Republicans in the middle is like halving the result of a drunk driver who blew a .3 on a breathalyzer test. .15 is still illegal and not good for all parties concerned. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past. 2022 must not become the new 2010.
