    On one hand we aren’t sheep, on the other hand it’s really really hard to get us to work together and compromise.

      People with an understanding of nuance and complexity have differing opinions about complex, nuanced topics

      Damn, who’da thunk

      There’s a piece of me that admires the right’s capacity (the capacity, not the right itself) to staunchly stand together as one.

      Even so, the ability to question is the cornerstone of democracy. We can’t exist in democracy without it.

      Our problem is getting rabid on single issues and willfully derailing the entire train and everyone on it for said issues and still solving nothing. Which does make me wonder how much of the rabid single issue scream presented online is actually Russian in origin.
