I guess my point is...
We are going their direction...not them coming to ours.
I don’t want argue about the merits in your points about abortion.
My doubt is the left is going to look at our movement away from our positions on abortion...and then suddenly agree with us that partial birth abortion needs to be stopped.
Or if we just “tax the very rich hedge fund managers”...they are not suddenly going to see that we have become “reasonable” and say “ok maybe we need to cut taxes on anyone else.”
That’s not who they are.
They get us or people on our side to give in to something but they never come our direction.
But you have to change the direction, doing a total 180 will freak the general public out, but doing a 45 and no one will balk (the extremists will, but who cares about them). And enough 45s and we have a complete 180 and the public would just accept it. (that is what the left has done to use over the past three to four decades)
most people even agree that abortion should be illegal, but most people believe the three exceptions should be included as well.
I am not saying we should change the platform from 100% ban on abortion, however if a bill comes along that states abortion will be banned except for the three exceptions, then we should support it. It would be a huge victory for our side and a compromise that the general public would agree with
