I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise ... but that just simply does not exist.

DUH!

:zizek-theory: A compromise-based political party is an oxymoron. Ideologically (sniff) a compromise implies two opposing sides. Never do those that compromise have political values of their own; they triangulate from the positions of others. They cannot exert a political will of their own unless they betray their "compromise" position.

Compromise is a vehicle. It's a tactic.

What she actually means by this is that she stands somewhere between the left and the right on the topic and that she wants others to compromise their positions so that hers is confrimed. If she was truly interested in compromise, she could give ground to the left or right instead of complaining that neither want to give ground to her.

Ultimately, compromise only works when all parties have enough power to fight but they all agree that they rather would make a deal. The left doesn't have any power. We literally have no choice but to fight or surrender

thank you for putting this into words in a way that escaped me. compromise being the vehicle really helped me explain some things to my partner.
