Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    Current events are proof that your preconditions needed for compromise to work do not exist in the real world.

      That’s because the democrats refuse to move left and don’t have a backbone.

        “my centrism isn’t a problem, it’s DEMOCRATS for not being left enough, because then my centrism would really be centered”

        Sure bud, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

        You aren’t wrong about democrats being spineless, but Personally I could never try and compromise with someone who thinks my very existence and the existence of minorities gives them a reason to hate and persecute up to literal lynching and murder but that’s just me.

          You missed the part about ethics. The compromise between murdering and not murdering minorities is to not murder minorities.

      Replace “the real world” with “America” and you’re right. There is plenty of real world out here where there is no need to be tied to one party. In my parliamentary elections I’ve had 3 parties that I’ll choose from depending on what they’ve been doing recently. It all comes back to that stopid FPTP system forcing two parties on you.
