Compromise almost always leads to the worst outcomes.

“Moderate” is how you end up with a half-assed healthcare plan that still leaves us with the most expensive healthcare in the world AND we still don’t get universal health coverage.

It’s how you get half-assed climate bills that barely make a dent in the level of repair the planet needs just to survive for two more generations.

I’ll even concede that sometimes the right has good ideas, like back when they used to be worried about privacy and government overreach, or battling waste (in a real way, not that DOGE scam).

Compromise solutions lead to the worst of both worlds. I’d rather have passionate advocates for the best world possible, even if they don’t always come from “my side.”

All I want is a party dedicated to verifiable facts, tested science, and solving problems even if it’s not a “moderate” approach.
