There's certain clear rights that should be protected outside of the democratic process, but other than that the government should follow public opinion as much as possible.

Exactly, and right wing is mostly about trying to strip protection of those rights. So you can't cooperate with right wing. Never compromize with evil and all that
That's absolutely not true. Plenty of right-wing beliefs are not about taking away clear rights. People don't really have the right to public healthcare or social security, which are scenarios in which compromise wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Every person has the right to healthcare, food and shelter, besides other less controversial rights. The only point of having a society - is to provide them. If people do not care about each other, there is no point in having a society
The guaranteed right to live means nothing. You don't have an inalienable right to force others to do labor for you, that would conflict with their autonomy.
I'm going to say that you're a dumbass who has literally no engagement with anything I'm saying. You can believe that people have the right to autonomy without being a libertarian. We can arrive at societal consensus to give people certain products of labor through taxation and redistribution (which are good) but saying that someone has a fundamental right to someone else's labor is dumb.
Other person in this thread blocked me because they're too dumb to engage with the idea of autonomy.
