My friend I can feel your frustration with the party, and it’s largely justified. Im simply looking at this this way...Would I prefer that they continue pushing further and further away from middle or would I prefer they start moving towards the center and actually be normal and reasonable humans now that Trump is gone? I’ll take the latter. Maybe they’re too far gone as you seem to think, and no one can justify some of the recent moves, especially on the voter suppression front. It’s unjustifiable.
However, I still think politics as a whole are far too polarized and Biden said it well when he stated that not every issue on the table has to be war.
In reading this forum regularly, I’m 1000% sure I’m more middle than most on here, and I have no issue saying I’m a registered independent. I have been since I moved to a new state a few years ago. Have I leaned left on most issues recently and voted left in the last 2 national elections? Yes. Have I also voted for some conservative candidates and policies at a local level recently? Yes. I’m not a fan of the extremism on either side and really do try to do candidate research and vote with what is logical and in line with my beliefs regardless of party affiliation. Some people don’t like that, and that’s fine, but I personally don’t think any issue is ever just black and white. That’s one of the reasons why this forum is great. It’s strangley a more civil place for debate and conversation than the real world now.
