My brother, when half the country opposes your viewpoints and the other half side with it compromise is all you have. Yes you can win in certain states on certain policies but you'll never get the sweeping changes you want. This administration had to fight tooth and nail for fucking student loan forgiveness and it still only ended up being a half-measure. A full-measure never would have passed which is the problem. We all want full measures but so long as the GOP exist we will never get full measures. Compromise is how we get anything done at all. Short of a civil war and a lot of dead Americans, we are at a stalemate and the best solution I personally can come up with is trying to break the the fear and anger the right uses to control their voters. But that happens with talks and compromise, not ideals and radical propositions. Steps, not leaps.
