Definition of Compromise – “an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions”
Unity – “the state of being united or joined as a whole.”
Now that the election is somewhat behind us, the calls for compromise and unity between the Democrats and Republicans have begun.
Please re-read the definition of compromise above. Compromise does not mean one side coming to the other, it means each side making concessions.
As the calls begin, remember that being true to your beliefs and to the reasons you were elected, giving up only small bits is real compromise, get something in return! Totally ceding your beliefs to accept the arguments of the other side is not compromise, it can only be named “total surrender”.
I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure that these calls are for the Republicans to come to their sense and do what the Democrats want. If they don’t, I’m also sure that means that the Reps. are “obstructionists”
