    Far out I hoped to create a discussion by giving a more centrist view, and i like your points, but you lot are for sure attacking me personally with those closing words. Bringing back reddit ptsd 😢

      I don’t think there is much room for compromising - by providing a more “centrist” view - with the highly misogynistic position that Vance stands behind. And that is why other responders disagree with your point.

        Thanks I much prefer your response style it is assertive and not directed at me but rather my comment. You also make a good point that I didnt consider because although im left, im from Australia so don’t get the full picture.

      It’s funny you mention Reddit because there was a subreddit dedicated to making fun of shit “centrist” takes like yours: https://www.reddit.com/r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM/.

      The fact is that politics in the US is skewed so far to the right that the options are center-right (Democrats) or far, extremist right (Republicans).
