> “that’s when you get into trouble politically, when you’re all on one side.” Actually, no. Political trouble reigns from the notion of “sides.” I understand that sides make it easier for people to “choose a side,” but it severely reduces the number of people who have any idea what they’re actually on the side of. We honestly need to rethink the notion of having political parties, because it’s breeding bandwagon voters who no longer feel the need to look at the details, and will openly vote against something they are personally in favor of because that’s what their “side” is doing, like it’s some sort of necessary compromise.
