Typical liberal - compromise is when you accept their position.

... the Delphi Technique is an unethical method of achieving consensus on controversial topics. It requires well-trained professionals, known as "facilitators" or "change agents," who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against another to make a preordained viewpoint appear "sensible," while making opposing views appear ridiculous.

Wow! Thanks for the link.

Using the Delphi Technique to Achieve Consensus
How it is leading us away from representative government to an illusion of citizen participation

Isn't this exactly what has been done on a grand scale to the entire country?

"Using the "divide and conquer" principle, they manipulate one opinion against another, making those who are out of step appear "ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic."

With the help of a willing leftist media the democrats have pitted us against each other over minor issues while they steal our Republic.
