So, when asked, I describe myself as extremely liberal socially, fiscally conservative, but not a libertarian. There's plenty of money for government to provide a safe country, good roads and bridges, excellent schools, and safety nets for those who need them. And government should stay out of pretty much everything else.
And literally *every single person* I talk to says something like, "Yeah, man, that's me, too."
If only there were a way to have a moderate party. It would win every election. Which is why we're not allowed to have it.
So, that's where we have to start, in my opinion. I have no idea how, or if it's even possible, but if there is a path to fixing this place, to any sort of unity, the first brick to lay is to get rid of the EC and the Super PAC's.
I firmly believe that this country agrees on almost everything already, except for two glaring issues. And they're big ones, don't get me wrong, but if we already agree on the other 90%, there has to be a way to forge a compromise on those two so that we can come together and be represented by a Middle party that actually gets things done.
