That’s because — by design — the culture war issues do not have a compromise position. The compromise on abortion was Clinton’s “safe, legal, and rare” — and it didn’t solve the problem.

I’m not excusing the idiocy of the Democrats here, but you can’t both-sides the fundamentals of the culture war — it’s not a symmetrical problem.
