I think it's tempting to say we have to pick the lesser of two evils but really I see it more as having to compromise with everybody. If somebody was elected president who wasn't able to also make the other side happy they wouldn't be able to get anything done. Hillary plays both sides because it means getting things done.

I think everybody agrees compromise is important, we compromise in relationships all the time it's just we don't get into healthy relationships with complete polar opposites who we can't ever agree with. Unfortunately the political system is basically a relationship between opposites where you just end up hating both people even though one was your friend before.
