When one political party is the only one being responsible about compromising to get our country moving forward and the other party is not responsible about honest compromise then any attempt to compromise is not compromise but in effect admitting defeat. So the answer to negotiating with them is to not negotiate but to actually ignore them. While in the past our country has survived arguably well with compromise between the parties it was because the two parties recognized that elections have consequences and the overall majority party would set the agenda and then the two parties would compromise within those parameters. What we have now is the overall minority party, Republicans, who are instead trying to set the agenda through attempting to blackmail the majority party, Democrats, into accepting their agenda. How can Republicans blackmail the Democrats into accepting their agenda? It is because although the Republicans are the overall minority party, they have a majority in the House of Representatives, and thus control the money that the government needs to operate. So instead of accepting the will of the voters through the last two rounds of elections, they are threatening to default on our national debts as blackmail for them to lead as if they were the majority. So what is the solution to this? Like I stated earlier, ignore them and do what we democrats can do without them. They will do what they will do and if defaulting on our national debt is what they do then it is their choice to own. We have elections again this November and if Republicans want to have a debt ceiling default as their accomplishment coming into the election so be it.
