There's two ways to look at compromised legislation:

1. It doesn't go far enough, and sells-out to the opposition.

2. It's better than nothing, and future legislation can address it.

Holding out exclusively for 1. or settling for 2. are bad strategies. There's nothing wrong with trying to get as much in a bill as possible, but the damn corporations push back on everything for the people.

Until, as Larry Lessig / Aaron Schwartz noticed, either the political OS gets changed (unlikely) or it crashes and burns.
