In a world of polarized extremes, be the moderate and reasonable middle ground... Too much of anything is a bad thing.
@freemo That would be reasonable if the Overton Window hadn't been moved steadily leftward.
@PakkonenCT I dont agree, it hasnt been moved left, it has been polarized outward in both extremes. The right has become as idiotic and extremist as the left and the middle as a whole is quite thin lately.
@freemo You don't agree. Would you like me to prove you wrong? Or will you cling to your POV no matter what I show you?
@PakkonenCT I have changed my mind on issues such as this countless times in my life.
Though considering your own statement seems to think you have an absolutly provable stance and that others are to be proven wrong without any indication of yourself being mallable to other ideas or the possiblity of being wrong, then no.. I dont really have much interest in debating it with you.
I welcome people with a difference of opinion to share it, but when presented with certainty and a nearly dogmatic introduction from the get go, then I have little interest in such a discussion.
Let someone prove me wrong who actually has the ability to question their own stance as part of the conversation. If that doesnt go both ways then the conversation will almost certainly be a shit show.
While I have no interest in discussing this with someone who already made up their mind, I will leave my response here before muting the thread.
Funny thing is, you havent apparently seen the evidence. Here is the actual complete image of the one you posted, which shows even the evidence you seem to have claimed contradicts you.
Notice that the image you posted is in fact from the sections on polling people who are not particularly interested in politics. In other words, of the people who dont have a strong opinion on politics they do learn slightly more to the democrat side. However when you poll people who take a strong political stance and more extremely commit to one side or the other it shows that republicans are, in fact, more polarized than democrats. Overall this difference is small though and for the most part both sides have diverged away from center.
I have muted @PakkonenCT as I have no wish to discuss this with someone who already made up their mind, but others are welcome to discuss.
@freemo It's not that I think I'm right, it's just that I've seen the evidence prior to making the statement.
enjoy. There is more evidence out there if you care to look.
