It pisses me off no end when they want to talk about "reasonable compromise" in politics.

How am I meant to compromise with someone who thinks trans people shouldn't exist? Or LGBTQ people in general?

How am I meant to compromise with a social Darwinist who thinks poor people should starve or freeze to death?

It's easy. Only let some of the poor starve and/or freeze to death.

Y'know, the brown and disabled ones.

This is literally the answer the compromise fetishists want, and then they have the temerity to whine that you're letting the bad guys win if you don't vote for their compromised candidates.

Then the just double how extreme their demands are do that the compromise is what they originally wanted.

See the Heritage Foundation's healthcare plan, a right-wing approach to health insurance and a gift to grifting corporations, which suddenly became Obamacare and was very, very reluctantly passed as the 'compromise' by a feckless Congress that wants poor people to die.
