you have not negotiated on these [beliefs] despite the path on which the People are heading Explanation: Another option might be to turn the negative statement into an affirmative one, e.g., "you have remained steadfast despite ..." steadfast 2: firm in belief, determination, or adherence : LOYAL her followers have remained steadfast https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/steadfast -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days 8 hrs (2020-12-27 01:09:23 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- My pleasure, Jenny! And yes, turning the statement around while using "steadfast" would appear to work rather nicely. That said, "negotiate" is fine, as long as an appropriate preposition is used. In this case, "on" sounds right to me. And "path on which the People are heading" also fits, as it evokes the phrase "heading on a path of destruction." |
