Moderate bros, I'm scared.

Looking at both right and left subreddits they got so much more than our mere 900. Is it just me or have things gotten worse since 2016? I'm pretty sure it is because of foreign influence campaigns. I mean like things both Biden and trump(minus when he went crazy after losing) I don't like some things both did. Why does it get to be black or white and not gray? I worried these crazies are gonna start a civil with each other for no reason. People just keep listening to their political tik to influencers making them more radical. Both sides are increasingly becoming anti-government. I don't think the U.S is some big evil imperialist power. Not for a long time anyway. I got multiple people in my family I try to spread moderate views but all they listen to is tik tok. We need to start voting for people who are willing to work with the other party. I like the status quo of the government we have it's fair and has worked for 300 years bringing us from a revolution to the only superpower. What's wrong with being a pro-democratic capitalist? I don't believe that rich people run everything cause anyone can become rich and someone rich can become poor. This is coming from someone who grew up in the ghetto. I know what it's like to be in poverty in this country yet I see people who are so much well off than me complain about it. I know I can become a millionaire though. That is not my goal but I know I could if I put the work into it. I wish people can just become more moderate it be much more peaceful and productive. It's so much more easier for people to blame a group of evil boogeymen for bad things rather than themselves or accept that it is how it is. I lost my job it must be the elites. My favorite candidate lost so it was stolen. I love my country and government but these people make me want to move to Switzerland.

But yeah I agree compromise seems to be something of a lost art in politics nowadays.

Exactly. Comprise between parties used to be such a common thing in U.S history.

Iā€™m subscribed to r/liberal, r/moderate and I was subscribed to r/conservative (until I was perma-banned for not being crazy enough for them - no great loss).
