What's wrong with meeting our adversaries in the middle? With reaching across the aisle to pass new laws? The scourge of tyranny always begins with compromise.
"There is a nearly unlimited variety of topics about which I can disagree with someone else while still peacefully coexisting with that person. But politics is not one of them. Ever. The reason for this is simple. My "political" position (anti-political, actually) is that aggression is wrong even when it's called "law," and that those who hold political power have no special rights, and no special "authority." Anyone who disagrees with me on that necessarily advocates "legalized" aggression. So no, when we talk about "politics," we aren't bickering over whether vanilla or chocolate is better; we are debating whether there should be freedom, or slavery. To condone the latter means you OPPOSE peaceful coexistence. No, we can't "all just get along" if some of us (i.e., YOU) are promoting the initiation of violence against others."

"Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles. “In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit." (Atlas Shrugged) "
- Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal by Ayn Rand
"With our friends and family it is better to compromise than fight, because our friends and family do not exploit us for compromising. Compromising with authoritarians sends a signal to the authoritarian to push harder and harder. There is no limit to what authoritarians want - they want it all. Compromise with people you love and trust, and who love you. Do no compromise with evil strangers, power hungry sociopaths, greedy dictators. or faceless dispassionate bureaucrats. "
