Someone PM'd me asking my opinion of the Ted Cruz / Cancun thing

The American middle is soft minded. Any self described centrist that feels Trump is an authoritarian in the nature of Hitler is at best soft mined.

Yes. I like my status quo. I worked for it. And it’s pretty good. It’s a reasonable compromise to run an ordered society.TheKobeStopper said:

The right left shit is crazy. Even seemingly intelligent people pick a side and dig in.Prestonluv said:We need to be an issue based political society
This right left shit is out of hand.
Ted Cruz is a corrupt POS
AOC is a corrupt POS
Rudy Guliani is a corrupt POS
Andrew Cuomo is a murderer
Trump is a narcissist
Biden doesn't remember yesterday
I mean fantastic leadership all around. This is what a corrupt two party system has brought us
It would actually be hugely beneficial if the middle would just admit that their position is based on protecting the status quo because they live comfortable lives and don’t want too much to change. It’s not better than people that believe the left is always correct or the right is always correct, it’s just a different flavor.
It ain’t even gonna be perfect man. I pay a shit load of taxes and have for a good long while, much of it for purposes of helping others. Happy to do it but at some point it’s too much. -
both extremes are annoying and dumb, and at times dangerous
no, there aren't 75 genders. You're stupid for claiming pseudo science as real science under the guise of discrimination against the mentally ill
no, not everything is racist and not every "poc" is a fucking victim. Quit whining you crybabies
yes, maybe limiting guns in the hands of the insane and deranged isn't a bad idea. It doesn't mean I want to confiscate every gun in the country, Billy Bob.
Yes, having a huge income gap and wealth disparity is kind of a problem. Maybe stop worshipping every business magnate and defending their effective 15 percent tax rate when we're in debt 27 trillion now. -
I always get a kick out of reading the brief moments of bipartisanship and clarity this board achieves every few weeks, before the inevitable posts half a page down by the usual partisans blowing up that fleeting mirage of #unity.creepycoug said:
So, it is a right or left thing.Bendintheriver said:
This isn't a right or left thing. This is one side trying to take away rights. The left literally has supported more violence by their silence than I have ever seen in my life. FFS they are trying now to erase history. Destroy statues, eliminate names on schools, federal buildings, etc. Erase the history of men and women who made sacrifices for our country. They are teaching our children that the color of their skin makes them racist. Can anyone believe that? This week the left proposed a bill that will fundamentally change our country forever. The reason they are doing it? They believe if they give 15 million illegals the vote, the "right" will never win another election. The bill to take away a persons right to own firearms is already in the works. One side is wiretapping campaign HQ's and getting away with it. Colluding with Russians and then trying to impeach a President who DIDN'T collude with Russian's. The left literally attempted twice to take away the votes of 70 million people without any cause whatsoever. We just elected a man who is tied to so much corruption and is a proven liar its unbelievable that he was even allowed to run for the office. There will be no special prosecutor because it is the left's guy.RoadDawg55 said:

This is not a left or right thing. This is a fight for our rights. A fight to have the right to make an impact with a vote and not have the violent minority rule over the majority. A fight to recognize that this country has done more good for the world than any other in history, not the racist cesspool the left is telling the world it is.
"I don't pick sides and this isn't a left or right thing. It's just that the left are evil and they literally want to enslave and rape my children in their Marxist schools of transgenderism." -
Most people don't even know who the fuck they are voting for. They just look at the letter attached. It doesn't matter if its R,D or L or I. It's a fucking retarded mentality. If we take away the letter we force people to research what each candidate stands for and believes in. But this will not occur under the guidance of the Rs and Ds. The want to stay in power and therefore promote the two party mentality and fail to bring up the term limit issue for congressman. This allows people to have politics as a career Instead of a position meant to serve the people. As a result, even the most genuine people turn corrupt.TheKobeStopper said:

Nothing will change unless the people force it and whether you agree with it or not that's a big reason why trump was elected and a big reason for the March on the capital. A large group of people in this country want our politicians to burn. you can include me in that group -
As a centrist, I thrive on threads like this.

See I could say, you want society ordered the way it is, I want socialism, let’s compromise and do universal healthcare and free college.
Why aren’t you willing to do that? I thought you liked compromise? Why are you being such an ideologue? Every other developed country has a form of universal healthcare, why are you so extreme?
I voted for Biden, come on man. This whole “you won’t compromise, you’re demanding a perfect world” schtick only pushes people like me away. -
