    They’d have to be willing to put aside differences as well. The problem is they’re more than willing to throw their “compatriots” under the bus to get easy points for right-leaning fence sitters.

    Compromise only works if everyone is willing to do it, otherwise it’s just retreat.

      I agree, but there is a difference between trying to compromise with an enemy and making enemies of potential allies because you don’t 100% agree with them.
