I’d like to think I mean “non-partisan”.
One thing that keeps me honest there is that I hold positions across the political spectrum (not all in the center) - usually this makes partisans uncomfortable because they don’t know which “camp” I’m in.
I think dismissing the anti-woke stuff in the way you do isn’t an accurate portrayal, sure partisanship is definitely motivating some but not all (not me) - it’s because I think it’s genuinely bad policy.
I’m not making a false equivalence either - the trump stuff is awful and a lot worse. Which is why I wish there was a sane center-right party.

I think either favoring 'woke' or being 'anti-woke' is partisanship. It's applying a label and dismissing it. The non-partisan thing is to look at each policy, regardless of labels applied by others. Even using the term is arguably (and arguably unintentionally) partisan - it adds nothing to the analysis and even works against it: It encourages inflames partisanship, which is a cancer.
- gonehome 5y agoYeah - I agree generally generic terms like that make discussion worse.
