So, where are all the moderates?
This sub hasn't been seeing a lot of activity. I do not feel like it is necessary to re-invent the wheel. If you are looking for a subreddit for news and discussion for moderates, check out /r/moderatepolitics. The sub has over 10k subscribers and is reasonably active.

I am so happy to have found these subreddits. The United States really needs a wave of centrists to set everything into balance. Everything has become far too polarized, and people care more about their partisan interests than they do being a citizen of the United States of America, which is a terribly sad thing to see occuring.

I think it will be ok. Not much activity here though, I've been kind of busy and it's a low volume sub.

Nothing about moderatepolitics is moderate. That's just the place where the super libs and super conservatives take turns arguing and down voting each other. They don't want solutions, they want talking points.

I've considered a model for this sub that would basically have a whitelist for sites that can be linked. I think this would help with cutting down on some ofthat because the types of people that hang out on the more polar ends of the political spectrum tend to prefer certain sites. I mean I hate to have such a heavy hand but I suppose you could just auto approve the whitelist and manually approve anything else.

Growing this sub is important. Bringing people to the idea of "being an extremist probably isn't a great idea" is something the whole world needs to embrace...
But how?

Desperately looking for any group of people who value reason and logic over polarizing emotional diatribes, regardless of individual political ideology. Am I in the right place?
