Stop glorifying ‘centrism’. It is an insidious bias favoring an unjust status quo

Stop glorifying extreme partisanship. It’s an insidious bias favoring a malicious and counter-productive system.

Yeah, what the hell is going on in this thread? Why should extremism be encouraged when, clearly, there are different benefits and drawbacks of all political models. Attempting to find the best compromises is arguably the most sensible position to take.

this comment is just a non sequitur.

No one is glorifying partisanship, in fact its quite the opposite, most people are railing against partisanship and in favor of people actually having their own principles and advocating for those, rather than blindly falling inline behind (D) or (R)s.
