Politics is about the art of compromise in order to effect change.. . .
HUH?! Politics is about seeking to make one's ideology dominant. See: Communism, Statism, Nazism, American Revolution, Russian Revolution, Spanish Civil War, American Civil War, Cuban Revolution, French Revolution, Iranian Revolution, Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro, Agusto Pinochet, Women's Suffrage Movement U.S., Women's Suffrage Movement U.K., Irish Republican Army, Shinning Path Guerrillas, Maccabees, and the Destruction of Carthage.

Some small number of political ideologies embrace compromise, but for the most part, one will have to look to minor historical examples, usually in the records of conquered nations.

Like I said, it does not bode well for our country.
Actually, I expect to see them become Republicans, in large part.

And worry not. We are the salvation of the country. It's all for your own good. You'll understand one day.

As the subjective case, it would be "that was between you and me."
