    At that age you’ve had more then enough time to form an educated opinion. He choose to be an enlightened centralist.

    I’m rather left (especially for the USA), but I wasn’t always that way. I was raised very conservative. My statistics wouldn’t be very different from this gentleman, and I also call myself an independent because I don’t care to be tied to a political party like some kind of sports team.

    Yet you would assume I would have garbage opinions without knowing anything about me simply by hearing my voting history and party affiliation.

    That’s foolishness on your part.

      You changed your opinion after life experience right? I’m going to assume you moved that direction before the age of 42 and didn’t stay “centrist” considering you’re confidently say you’re more left wing.
