re: #333 Mich-again

Tribalist crap from one side just ends up as bulletin board material for the other tribe. It doesn’t sway the ones in the middle either way.

The thing is that while the middle is where the critical votes to turn an election come from, the energy of most elections comes from the political bases of either side. “Moderation!” is not a cry that fills the town square, but “Beat back government tyranny!” or “Make the 1% pay their fair share!” will at times be able to fill the square.
