| Topic | "Radical centrists" contribute to the problem of political division |
| FaultyGourry 06/24/18 11:08:40 PM #20: | I don't get this disdain for compromise. Even within political parties compromise is a must in order to put forth a candidate that the majority of their base can (supposedly) get behind. We already saw last presidential election how a lack of compromise can kill a parties chances of taking an office. We also saw how not trying to find common ground with and instead insulting and deriding those who disagree, even under the same party, hurt a campaign. Yes, politics is a spectrum, but it is also highly tribal. The D or R next to a candidate's name is far more important than what their stances are, because hey, you don't want the other side to win, do you? Not compromising, communicating or trying to find a better way lowers our expectations and has us accepting less than we should. I mean for god's sake, people were voting between the shitshow of Trump and Hillary last time. I don't know how people could argue we shouldn't try to find a better, more encompassing solutions when our standards got that low. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/faultybreaker/ "Hypocrisy does not invalidate a point." - S.
