I understand that we'd need to compromise, but why should we be the ones that fold rather than the Demopublicans compromising to our ideals?

what I mean is, they're mostly wrong on a great deal of things and they need to be enlightened.

Well, you're welcome to try, but you asked why you should be the ones to compromise instead of them; I'm saying that the reason is because, at this point, they really don't need to care all that much about what you have to say, given how small the Libertarian party is.   I'd say your best bet is to increase your numbers as much as possible - you'll get nowhere unless you do.
