Isn't there someone in the center of the issues? Why does it have to be "kids in cages" or "no kids in cages" with these parties?

What's to be confused on? One party says "put kids in concentration camps", and other says "don't put kids in concentration camps".

As an ENLIGHTENED CENTRIST, surely the answer must be in the middle.

Anyone you disagree with = troll

That kind of logic is what got Trump elected.

The special election in Alabama was a perfect example of how both sides do this. Put a moderate Democrat up against a child-molesting Republican and both sides just vote for their own tribe.

By "in politics" do you mean the actual politicians? I think probably quite a bit of them are freethinkers that have decided to sit under the same umbrella to be more effective. This undermines their effectiveness as well, in ways that are different than the ways that it promotes their effectiveness. Overall, they have decided to go with what's popular so that they can be heard and represent the people to the best of their ability. Probably?

That's the way I see it...there are lots of freethinkers who are merely operating in a very limited system and have a label on them. Don't get me wrong. There are a lot of idiots too. One of these parties will have to win out and change things from the inside out so that we can allow for things like ranked order voting, etc. to increase choice. However, culture always has its impact on politics too. So there are ways to influence that process that works from the inside out, by impacting the 'outside' portion that process via culture. This is what the arts can do, for instance.

It really is a shame. When you have to struggle to make a decision whether or not you're going to vote for a child predator because they have the right letter next to their name, something is wrong.

Yup. Long and short of it. Politicians don't serve the people. They serve themselves. And yes both sides really do do it.

Republicans are way worse right now. But Dems have done a lot of shady shit that was bad for country but good for themselves. Lobbyists rule the damn country. To think otherwise is foolish.
