Compromise sometimes means leaving something on the table.

[mmonk]

In the case of right vs wrong, that can be a mistake.

1. ALWAYS means leaving something on the table,

that's COMPROMISE; issue: HOW right vs HOW wrong?

[mmonk]

3. Simple. Are people harmed.

2. I think people forget; the other side think's they're as right as you do.

[mmonk]

4. No doubt. Is right vs wrong subjective?

If so, does the best foot forward not equate to a forward motion?

5. Love means never having to say you're sorry.

6. Especially when you "pre-emptively surrender" before getting to the table.

Preemptive surrender has been the "strategy" of establishment Dems for far too long. "Can't win, so don't fight."

Their cowardly refusal to demonstrate the courage of their convictions has done more damage to the party than anything else. Even Bill Clinton apparently "got it" at when he said "“When people are insecure, they’d rather have somebody who is strong and wrong than someone who’s weak and right."

When will our so-called "leaders" get that they need to be what people are looking for: strong and right?

Bernie is showing the way. I hope that at least some of them take the lesson to heart.

7. Yes. When compromise is the first position

only one compromises. When compromise is the design before any principles, one side had no principles or anything to compromise to begin with. Then it's just a deal.
