re: #544 Blind Frog Belly White

The key is maintaining your commitment to objectively verifiable fact and healthy skepticism, especially of things that flatter your preconceptions. As long as you keep true to that, you can be as far left or right as you want.

Mind you, the problem with that is that far left and far right solutions BOTH don’t work.

I support policies that are pretty far left, such as single payer universal healthcare, a universal basic income, free college tuition, a big increase in immigration, especially for refugees, and new taxes on the rich to pay for it. But I know that going to war with everyone in the Democratic Party who isn’t ideologically pure isn’t going to win us elections, and we have to work with people in the center to get shit done.
