“Both sides” is just intellectually lazy. It allows you to be cynical and bitch and moan without ever actually examining the issue. You aren’t above it, you’re just not paying attention.
Yup, being a moderate or a centrist shouldn't mean "I criticize both sides equally", it should be "I criticize each side proportionally to what they do while in office"
Exactly. Each side polarizes their base in and out of office. I do see good in left and right. I just want everyone to stop letting themselves be polarized so we can talk like adults and get some things done.
