what’s the alternative? the idea is to make compromise between “extremes” and end up somewhere in the middle: one side has to compromise on things they don’t mind much about to give the other something they really want, which should lead to getting the biggest issues for both sides at least partly resolved

it’s not that packing a bunch of deals together into 1 package is a problem; it’s the road blocks just to make the other side look ineffective that’s the problem
