If one sees partisanship as a principle, or worth having,
then they should not be surprised if and when they find that principle, or lack thereof, is unsustainable.
To disagree with someone in principle on a matter that may be partisan, does not mean the person's principle is partisanship.
If one finds themselves struggling with the consistency of their principles, it is a product of one of two causes.
The first being the sustainability of the principle the person holds ...
The second being the inability of the person to sustain the principle because they lack the character necessary to do so.
I feel that partisanship tends to be more devoid of principles altogether ...
Much like compromise if one chooses to compromise their core principles.

Americans are far past the point of no return for ever compromising enough to remain a single, united union of states. Take abortion for instance. One side believes unborn life to be sacred and beyond value. The other side approves of and regularly practices murdering it. That manner of divide can never be compromised or bridged. In order to do so, one side would have to submit to the other; one side would have to become fine with murdering unborn children, or at least become okay with other Americans doing it right before their very eyes, so to speak. The only answer to such divided principles, such radically different values, is to practice the freewill of war and let God decide which principle is most just by who remains standing.
