The Middle speaks

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I did a disservice to a politician? One down, 3,487,295,521,099 more to go...

Do you vote?

First go-round I voted Obama, this last election Gary Johnson.

A person is not apathetic if they see problems with both sides. The absolute worst is if you support "your" team no matter what.

Werd. I don't see how recognizing both parties are screwing us is apathetic. I am voting Libertarian this time. I am done with voting the lesser of two evils

Libertarian is actually farther right than Republicans. I thought you were moderate.

Not really. especially on Social issues

There's nothing moderate or middle of the road about libertarianism.

Free market economic tyranny.

If you were to look at the political spectrum as a circle where the extreme left borders on the extreme right , then libertarians are in that space between the extreme right and the extreme left borrowing positions from both those fringes. In that sense, libertarians would be in the middle alright. A looney middle but still a middle.

You're not really moderate or you think Liberian's aren't to the right of republicans?

I hate that I agree with what you just said. I don't agree with some of their stuff, but it has to be a start point.

What MBD said.

So a free trade group that supports a woman's right to choose, drug legalization, and Gay marriage is to the right of the Pubs /

Yeah right

Well, they don't support it per-say. They just don't do anything. That's not necessarily the same thing. For example, telling two dudes they can go get married is not exactly the same as making laws or amending laws that allow equal protection to gays being married. They also would not be willing to ensure any type of government regulation of abortion clinics.

For politics, absolutely true. Anyone who thinks one party has all the answers is delusional.

I do diverge with them on the no govt oversight agency thing. I can tell you from having been in industry for nearly 30 years. OSHA has saved a lot of lives and following the guidlines is not an undue burden

Much like the deniers
