Compromise is overrated in the political arena.

Honey where are we going to eat tonight? Compromise away!

Should women have bodily autonomy? There is no compromise to be had here.

Politics is inherently a battle of ideas, it is supposed to be conflict where better ideas win, and compromise almost never works.

In most cases it just waters down a good idea, it rarely improves a shitty one.

Compromise has historically been used by the right to retard progress, from slavery, to women's rights to vote, to civil rights, we've always had to compromise and then eventually we've gotten rid of the compromise and done the correct thing, we should have done in the first place.
