Compromise means everyone agrees to do what no one believes is right.

No, it doesn't. Look at your own posts... condescending, confrontational... not very compromising at all.

I really have no clue. Democrats have had the opportunity to compromise with Republicans for the last nearly 8 years and for the first two their mantra was, "Elections have consequences" while the remaining time, while in the minority, was spent accusing them of being obstructionists.

you sound broken.

here's what compromise actually means: an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

when did I suggest kicking out EVERY undocumented person in this country?

What I actually said is that illegal immigration is a huge problem and sanctuary cities make it worse - by not enforcing our ALREADY EXISTING immigration laws. should we just pretend that we have no borders? why don't we just ask Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, etc to start paying US taxes. We're educating 1/2 of Latin America anyway - and providing unlimited free healthcare via ER's. They might as well help pay for it.

yes we did, followed up with that skanky hypocrite Kim Davis with her 16 ex husbands preaching about God's law oh and lets not forget HB2 and all of the other anti LGBT laws passed by individual states since then.

"Concessions" to what they believe is right. Therefore, everyone agrees to do what nobody thinks is right. Which never really happens until one group imposes their will upon another group by force.

They do, all the time. At screwing over the American people in favor of lobbying corporations for a few extra dollars.

Another consideration is that while compromise is good, people generally view compromising their morals and values to be unethical. One of the problems is both the left and the right view each other's values as immoral. That's a hurdle that is virtually impossible to overcome.

It's not about "need", and yes, we need them to defend freedom from those who would trespass it.
