Politics have become so divisive these days that talking about compromise is considered a dirty deal. Joe Biden has received criticism from people on the far left for stating he would speak with Republicans to get policies passed. On the other side of the aisle, Republicans openly say they are not interested in working with Democrats on bills. This is ridiculous!
Life is about compromise. There are some things that you can impose your will, particularly when it comes to dealing with yourself, but once you are dealing with others, compromise is always on the table. We compromise in our personal and professional relationships. You pick what hill you want to defend, and on other occasions, you decide to meet the other person halfway, or you decide their way is best.
It’s clear many politicians have lost their way. They care more about protecting their party than protecting the country. It makes no sense that we don’t demand compromise in politics. You have to work together to get things done. No politician should be disparaged for wanting to work across the aisle to get things done.
