You're unique. Good for you for having thoughts that aren't exclusively aligned with your party's platform. We need more moderates.

I agree.  At some level, I believe the vast majority are capable of accepting moderate positions.  It's just a question of dropping your guard, using reason, and having adult conversations. Sort of like we do around here...

Anyone older than 72 should be quiet and not make comments. LOL
James is 80 years old. He's as senile as Trump and Biden.
I will say, can't believe I'm saying this, the Dems are more united than the GOP.
WYL wishes they were the EYL

I find this interesting. I am not going to disagree with this statement. In one sense, I think this is a good thing for our future parties. I do want schisms. I would like to see both parties split. To think that all of our political issues are placed under these broad terms of Republican and Democrat is silly. The Tea Party movement in 2010ish-2016 was a political boon for the Republicans; I would argue that Bernie and his Democratic Socialist ideology, along with the Squad led by AOC was a political boon for the Democrats. Even those two movements helped strengthen the two parties at the time, they are now threatening to tear the parties apart. We need options in this country for our leadership; we need grassroots-type movements. It helps clarifies what people believe and forces old school politicians to remember why they got there in the first place.
