Extremes are untenable. There has to be a compromise at some point.
I don't know what rock you've been under the last couple of decades, but the democratic party has been trying to compromise with the republican party, and only ever gets fucked over for doing so. "Compromise" on the right effectively means 'fuck you, you're voting for what I want or nothing at all', and even then they'll still vote against the compromise.
I want compromises too, but both sides have to be willing to come to the table in good faith, and the republican party hasn't had good faith available since bush, possibly before then
