Compromising on issues within the proper function of government is one thing. Things established in the Constitution are NOT subject to legislation and are NOT subject to compromise barring a constitutional amendment. Giving up anything from our enumerated rights is not only unacceptable but also illegal.Not compromising is how we got here. It started many decades ago. That’s not how this works. Their has to be compromise at times. It has to be part of the recipe for democracy.
Erase the party lines and compromise would become a tool, leverage. In a 2 party system it becomes a stand-off and Americans lose.
