I hope that everyone knows that when they hear the phrase "We want to get to yes"; it's shorthand for a "hell, no". This is political speak when the person/group does not/will not/can not come out and say point blank, "Hell, No! we aren't supporting that".
When you hear the phrase "We want to get to yes", it also means the proposal/policy is very popular & it's political suicide for the person to directly oppose it. This phrase was used by the GOPe in the house and Senate to block MAGA agenda. It's now being used by dems on USMCA.
If I never hear the phrase again, I'll be a happy man. I have to wonder how stupid the politicians really think we are when they say stupid crap like "We want to get to yes." If they want to support the policy, they simple have to say yes. There is no trying to get to yes.
It's a binary choice. Yes or No. If you aren't supporting the policy, you are a no. If you are trying to change the policy, you are a no. IF you are trying to push your own policy, you are a no. Only if you are sup[porting the policy are you a yes. This isn't rocket science.
