The compromise I'm thinking of, where democrats give way too much and republicans don't give anything, are the constant battles over tax cuts and economics. Biggest example was when John Boehner proudly claimed he got 95% of what he wanted from shutting down the government a few years ago. Billionaires keep getting their taxes cut, everything for the middle/lower class gets cut, republicans fight tooth and nail to make it happen and the democrats turn completely spineless. Immigration, GLBT issues, war and all the other political issues we have to deal with go on as normal, but when it comes to the fact that the corporate class is fucking the entire country, we always get the same game: Republicans fight for the billionaires, democrats don't fight for anything and unless you make a million dollars each year, you get fucked.
