    Compromising is "selling out." Welcome to America.

    According to Alma's hypothetical, we can save the planet (climate change), save the sick (medicare for all), balance the budget (by taxing the shit out of the wealthy) . . . and it would still be "selling out". Because you gave up something.

    The number of people benefiting from the trade would be magnitudes more than would be harmed . . . but can't do it. It's selling out.

    But did they pinky-swear? And did he have his fingers crossed when he said that?

    Now put it in context. In other words, try doing this honestly. Try it out as a change of pace.

    If you're a sexist, it's quite easy to write off taking away a woman's right to choose what happens to her own body as just the price of doing business, as a compromise. Hey, it's only a little more than half of the population. Why should they matter, right?

    I want to compromise on abortion.
    "Sexist! You don't care about women!"

    I want to compromise on taxes.
    "You don't care about the poor!"

    I want to compromise on health care.
    "You don't care about the sick!"

    I want to compromise on global warming.
    "You're just an old fart who doesn't care what kind of planet you leave for the rest of us!"

    I want to compromise on immigration.
    "Racist! You hate brown people!"

    I want to compromise on defense spending.
    "You're not a patriot. You hate the military!"

    No matter what compromise someone comes up with, they're branded as anti-this or anti-that. It's the only tool you've got.
