Both sides is older than any of us. Enlightened centrism is a plague on intelligence

The problem isn't that I want to be a centrist because I think it's correct. It's because this country is going to fucking shit with the deadlock on any kind of cooperation.

Constantly volleying for further extremes correct or not is why we can't get a budget approved, why even with the ACA it got stripped to fucking Bits when the next presidency swung around.

The reality is you want to be bringing in more voters by being more palatable and not pushing them away by drawing a line in the sand for EVERY single issue. No I'm a better liberal! No I'm a better liberal look at me virtue signal.

It's fucking exhausting.
