President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to tighten voting rules by creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail ballots.
yeh by your definition. its easy to make everything bad by ones definition. I certainly do not agree with many things that have happened but the idea that I don’t want a balanced society and going to throw around center and moderate like its the enemy to fight. I can see the enemy and I know which way is up. Im not looking to fight with any of the poor or heck ven kinda wealthy folk because its extreme wealth that has us fighting each other. That MLK quote was essentially a call to revolution but I find a lot of people like to call for revolution but not so much start doing it themselves. More importantly though it was about fixing the problems of today today. Like removing the current facist or making sure the party and ideology aren’t even an option so that we can successfully make some real progress rather than allowing and applauding regression.
If you want a balanced society, first you have to fully grasp what that means. Political ideologies are not unchangeable like race or sexual orientation, you can literally just go “oh, this position isn’t serving me anymore” or “this party has changed and moved away from representing my principles” and you can do it whenever.
Being a “moderate”, especially if you’re in a place where true support of the working class has evaporated and the right has gone full fascist is such a silly thing. All it does is scream that the only thing you care about is being between two things, not that you’ve actually thought about if either of those two things have become invalid as a point of reference. In the US and Canada the overtly right-wing parties have shifted so far to the right as to not be even remotely valid and the center has, because it has no values to keep it in place, moved to fill the conservative gap.
I mean people have changed sexual orientation but thats usually because they were living a lie and some folks swing both ways and can be a bit fluid in what is their main preference. We choose party canidates in the primary that just happened and that I voted it. All my canidates did not win but some did and many of my least perference did not. I worked on a right in canidates campaign. Come november I can vote on principle or I can try to improve the state of my country right now. Not fighting the full fascist right at this point is not something as fun and banal as silly. Its devastating.

“Balanced”. Sure thing, champ.
