I mean yea, thats pretty much what I thought you meant. And while I do agree supproting genocide, suppressing civil liberties etc are bad things... but the fact that you think that was done to execute the compromising principle, and not to inherent flaws in judgement directly is a bit laughable.
Im sorry my intent isnt to mock you, i should have been nicer in how I phrased it. But "compromising principle" is not something I would use to describe the left/democrats over the last decade (nor would i use it to describe the right/republicans by the way).
