Politician: My opponents argue that the future of our city depends on compromise—that unless the city's leaders put aside their differences and work together toward common goals, the city will suffer. ████████ ███ ████████ ██ ████ ████ █████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██ ████████ ███████████ ███ ██████ ███ ███████████ █████ ██████████ ███████ ███ ████ █████████ ██████ ████ ██ █████████ ███ ███████████ ██████████ ██ ███████ ████ ████ █████████ ███ █████ ██ ███ ██████ █████████

Summary

The opponents of the politician call for compromise. They say that the city will suffer unless the city’s leaders put aside their own differences and work toward common goals. The politician claims that the opponents advocating for the betrayal of the city founders’ goals, since anyone who compromises the principles on which the city’s charter was founded would betray the city founders’ goals.

The critic calls the politician’s argument flawed because of the misleading use of a particular term.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

The blank should be filled with the term that the politicians is using in a misleading way. The word is “compromise.” The opponents advocate for compromise regarding the city leaders’ differences. That’s not the same as compromise regarding the principles underlying the city’s charter.
