If you feel the far left and far right are equally dangerous to continued freedom in America

What do you call the “far right”? Because last I checked, we have open socialists running for president and the most liberal republican potus in a half century

I have far fewer issues with the far right than the far left, yet I consider myself a moderate.


As an example, I don't give two shits about abortion except for the super late term stuff the far left is promoting.

I'm not moderate about anything. I believe what I believe and I'm all in on what I consider to be right.

I’ll go further and say anyone who automatically believes the other side is evil and refuses to engage with them in honest conversation is a part of the problem.

The moderate of today is the pinko commie of the 60s.
The pendulum has swung that far left.

Honest conversation is not based on emotions, so it is impossible to have one with a leftist.

I’m to the left and will absolutely have a conversation with you. I will say I disagree that emotions have no place. Humans are inherently emotional beings. That’s not to say that emotions can trump facts by themself but to say emotions have no role is not something I can agree with.

The truth for you “moderates” is that you will once again swing back left, then come back to the right to fix everything that got fricked up.

Moderate in real life or on TD? On here a moderate might as well be a hardcore communist.

I am old enough to remember the no abortion days and it was a lot like prohibition. It did not work and more people died because of it. I do not have a womb so I feel as a moderate it is not my issue. I am neither pro abortion or anti abortion but when I point this out I am laced the opposite of the other persons beliefs and it degrades to name calling. Hard to have a real discussion as both sides seem so entrenched in a topic that affects few actual voters.

How many babies are aborted vs say how many are killed by distracted driving, booze, drugs, and other poor life decisions?

How many voters take this single issue yet will not attend a school meeting to discuss how kids get educated or how tax money gets spent.

Humans pick the oddest fight to get polarized over.
