You article is behind a paywall, dumbass.I can't speak for the Left, but I stayed general because there are so many possible examples.You just provided it: Less vs. More. That exists on a continuum.I want less government and the left wants more. Give me an example of how I should be compromising with that
If you said you would only accept 0% government, and they said they would only accept 100%, we'd be at an irreconcilable impasse.
But if you both agree that the answer is somewhere on the continuum, the task would be to find the various points on the continuum that the myriad different costs and responsibilities of the government could exist.
Then, there would be some give and take, where you get something more to your liking, and where they got something else more to their liking. Each side wins a few, each side loses a few, both sides win a few.
Isn't this kind of obvious?

It's obvious because you stayed in the clouds and didn't say anything specific.
Give me an example of an issue that the left will compromise on and how someone who is for less government could realistically make an agreement with them to compromise
The level of personal taxation, the level of corporate taxation, the size of the military, the level of government involvement in health care, the various departments, on and on and on.
This stuff is so fundamental, I don't know what you want. If two people who are different points on a continuum actually need help in doing something this basic, we're fucked.

I'm on the "left" and I can give you an example.
