| Topic | "Radical centrists" contribute to the problem of political division |
| ClockworkHare 06/24/18 11:40:03 PM #28: | I'm not personally bothered by people being in the middle ground politically. I'm fairly liberal myself, but if our side isn't really doing a great job at selling itself to people on the fence then I'm not really going to blame them for being uninterested. If we want more people to join our political party, we need to sell our agendas better. Brow-beating them with rhetoric like "it's the right thing to do " is a really weak selling point in the modern US...especially when we follow it up with a version of "join or else ". If my neighbor wants to be a centrist, even if some of our political beliefs differ, I'm typically fine with it. We probably agree enough on a number of things already that we're not going to negatively impact each other much. Not everyone agrees. While occasionally inconvenient, it's still a valuable part of humanity that's actually helped us evolve, because some people decided to think differently instead of being herd animals who submit to the loudest growls. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/flcnpawn.png http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/84543589.gif ...
