2 and (especially) your version of 3 are incompatible. Something has to give way. Some of us don't want to give way on 2.

  And some of us don't want to give way on 3. That means we need to learn to compromise. Ideology is neat and tidy; real life is not.

    That opinion seems to come around a lot, but it steams from the faulty assumption that we need to reach an agreement: we don't. You should only compromise when the utility you get from getting part of what you want is greater than the utility you lose by what you give away. There is no utility in reaching an agreement in and of itself, so there is no reason to do it.

      The utility to a compromise is that it actually gets implemented.
