    The reason people are stepping away is because the left and right have become so stupid that its not worth engaging in any intellectual discussion on a political level. Its like arguing with a toddler on string theory, complete waste of time.

    When Biden was in office, the left leaning posters were dominant. Now its the MAGA Hulk Hogan crowd.

    Echo chamber...

    Americans are increasingly moving away from the extremes.

    This doesn’t signal Americans are becoming more discerning (watch them swing wildly in November) it only signals they’re seeking respite from rancor and they want to pace themselves.

    There really isn't any common ground when you cannot agree on the definition of a woman. When you can't agree on the easy stuff, the complicated stuff doesn't have a chance. But it has never really been about the issues, it is about the haves and the have nots, and the have nots just want to steal.

    Not a coincidence…football is getting very interesting.
    Crazy posters are getting very out of vogue this season.

    I agree. More people need to migrate to the center, and be more like me. :cool:

    Those comments would have to come in a private chat.

    It took two seconds to see the original poster has been here since 2008; it took a lot less time to see that you would lie…
