It's not a strawman, it's an observation.
I think the founders and patriots of the revolution understood compromise very well. How else would they have stitched those colonies together?
Here, let me help you

Try not to live up to your name. Doom, gloom, and absolutes only
work in church.

More generally to all - Bernie doesn't absolutely match up with everything for me either (no one would, except myself, but I'm not running). I'd vote for him in a second though were he the nominee, regardless of any nits I could pick. Apparently, many here don't share my willing, open-mindedness and overarching sense of community that makes me amiable to compromises. Unfortunately, it is a loss to us all.

I mean, come on, didn't we used to make fun of republican purity tests?
