Yeah I despair at this too. One problem a sensible moderate person who can work with people doesn't generate headlines, which means no one knows about them and no one votes for them.
You get someone who "fights for what is right", "takes a stand" and "doesn't back down" you'll get well known and people will vote for you.
Sad state of affairs, I dont know what to do to change it.
- eropple 8y agoThe gray fallacy/golden mean problem is real. A "sensible moderate person" frequently, in the terms of those bemoaning the lack of them, privileges "moderate" over "sensible", implicitly wishing that someone would look at "let's eat babies" and "let's not eat babies" and conclude "let's eat some babies."
