A Question for the Moderates

Sure, but people are being forced to take sides or hide what they think. Right now, in the bluest county of the blue state of NY, if I told my boss I supported Donald Trump I would be fired. Not right away, but within a week or two my work hours would start tapering off and in a month or two I'd be out of a job. I like working here, but unless you want the libs on your case you have to shut up.

I consider myself a left leaning moderate. On this board that makes me a flaming liberal though. A whole lot more would get done in this country if more compromise was met. More moderates would be a great thing IMO...so yes, I think too many people on both sides are too willing to just toe the party line.
