raging hardliners

you're not wrong, politics is about compromise and in the most successful nations no one gets what they want and no one leaves the bargaining table happy. the question is, how does one work the politics of coalition and compromise when the people you're supposed to coalition-build and compromise with are raging hardliners. How does one find a middle ground with open christian nationalist fascists?

You don't. You must never. Because there is no middle ground.

The fact that Dems keep trying to "reach across the aisle" is one of the worst parts of what's going on right now. They have no spine to stand up for what's right.
