False equivalency: our problems are due to the fact that neither side will COMPROMISE

FACTS:

1. You can't compromise with terrorists and fascists

2. You can't compromise if you don't even have a seat at the table

3. Gandhi:

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. All compromise on fundamentals is a surrender, for it is all give and no take.” Mahatma Gandhi

My question is, who pushed that boulder right to the edge of the cliff in the first place??

Good question. If that is prevented from happening in the first place, Old Man Johnson would be on his merry way.
