Thanked: 3795Compromise of much significance seems to be a thing of the past. Sorry for the pessimism.

Thanked: 4830Ron I think that is part of the problem. Too many people with their heels dug in too deep to find a common ground. I have a cousin that says compromise simply means that no one gets what they want. It is in part true, but without compromise no one gets anything.

It's indeed easy to "demonize" the man on the other side.
If you think a bit about it, you start to realize they mostly want the means to live a happy and secure life. Then you can start to discuss.
It may seem "basic", but reading political discussions, it still doesn't appear too obvious.
