I’ve read through this twice and I can’t figure what you’re trying to both-sides here.

Lets say we're playing prisoners dilemma.

You know I will initially attempt to cooperate. You know that if you defect, I will still try to cooperate. What is your most rational strategy?

Your most rational strategy is very obviously to defect. My strategy of cooperation, and your knowledge of my strategy made defecting the rational choice for you.

So who is to blame? You for rationally choosing your own self interest? Or me for failing to come up with a strategy that leads to better outcomes?

Republicans packed the courts while Democrats were complaining about republican obstructionism under Obama. You can blame republicans all you want, but democrats need to take responsibility.

So what I am saying is both sides are responsible.
