I’m a Moderate and I can attest that it’s true, which is disappointing. Healthy debate is how mind’s are strengthened and changed with new information. The interesting thing is that I would’ve considered myself a hard-Left Progressive at one point; I wanted Dennis Kucinich for President and I protested Enron and their phony price hikes. Let me digress; being a fan of George Carlin, never in my wildest idea that he’d be correct about today’s society. In short, the party left me, and thousands of others, without representation. Is there any way to reach a middle ground?

No one who is a moderate would be egging on a partisan douche opening a chat with things like:

>but you have to accept big-people words - I'm not in your safe zone!

You're defending a troll who is clearly not here in good faith. I'm an actual "moderate" who has voted for plenty of Republicans in my life and can't stand Kucinich then or now... and I call BS when I see it. Until the GOP comes back from orbit and dumps all this Trumpist/MAGA nonsense, voting with Dems on some issues is the moderate position... as reasonable people like Tom Ridge and Liz Cheney have reminded us (never thought I'd call a Cheney reasonable, but relatively speaking, here we are).

What I meant by "accept big-people words" is to be able to have a conversation that might well involve a phrase such as, "Holy fuck that's dumb," so long as it's not just that but is followed with some logic and reasoning to support why the person saying that feels that way. Specifically, I meant not reacting exactly like you are to words. If you think I'm a troll based on the multiple substantive replies I've made now, I'm sorry you're incapable of being an adult.

If you want to dump the BS and have a real conversation, hit me up, but otherwise, I'm just glad I made you so angry you pissed away.... what... 5-10 seconds of your day ranting about Trumpists on my post lmao

You're just continuing to prove the point that you want to argue, not have any sort of genuine discussion.

If you actually want to engage with people, and not just humor yourself, I strongly suggest you revaluate your approach.

You're going to attract what you put out. You've already shown me, without any doubt, that you are not someone worth engaging with through this medium.

Please to meet you! If you would like to discuss anything in a civil manner, I’m all up for learning. I need more positivity in my life.
