I'm advocating for sincere & dedicated commitment to the process.

What process?
Negotiation, compromise, creating policy.

So you have no solutions, no proposals, and nothing other than bland appeals to "compromise". Oh, and ignoring what Republicans are doing and saying about why they're doing it.
Shrug....what a waste of time
It seems you're not keen on bi-partisan solutions.
Nor on considering my perspective.
I was thinking exactly that.

If someone offers a bipartisan solution, I'll consider it. In the meantime, constitutional rights are not something one compromises on, especially voting.
Maybe bring something to the table next time.

It's funny that Democrats seem to go the polar opposite. Letting complete foreigners vote, or at least turning a blind eye to it should it 'slip' through the cracks.

Where have they done that?

It always starts at the local level and winds up reaching the majors eventually if not stopped early on.

Democrats Just VOTED to Allow ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to VOTE!

And? I don't see anything particularly partisan about what's described in the first article. In each of the 12 localities that have allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections (if they have kids in the schools and/or own property), it seems to have support of the people who live there.

The issue is in legality.
No non citizen should be able to interfere in any election. Local or otherwise.
Your asking for trouble.

Did you even read the article you posted?
The people who live in those areas decided it's fine for people who own property and send their kids to the local schools to vote in local elections (e.g. school boards).
It's always been illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. Go read the article you posted.

I like that little cliché. "Did you read the article?
Yep, I did, and still stand by the premise that illegals should not be able to participate in any elections.

Opinion noted.
Complaining about an exchange you started (#35)?
Although you did bring something....intransigence.

I agree. And if someone was to ask me why... I will simply say if they are here illegaly, they cant vote legally.

This is exactly what an urban Brit like me wants to believe rural America is like. Can any of you confirm or deny?
This might be a better example:
One of the YouTube commenters said: "You dont understand America if you dont understand this song."
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains, and the western skies
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Then there's this one:

Um, we fought the Brits over "taxation without representation", and yet non-citizens here do pay taxes, so why shouldn't they be allowed to vote in at least local elections if that community thinks it's right & proper? If not, then why should they have to pay taxes?
Just something to think about.
