I used to be the type of person who voted for the moderate candidate in either party that had a reasonable chance to win.
What I have learned since 2020 is that this does not work. Any moderate in Congress will be under such relentless pressure from the majority in their party that eventually they crack or retire.
I really do not know where that leaves us, but our political system in clearly not sustainable. Something has got to change.
Moderate used to be able to get the sides to work together. These days the moderates just anger both sides.
We've GOT to get our election system straightened out so that win or lose, at least we have a 99% trust in the outcome. IMO until that happens...it's not going to get any better.
That is pretty much what I argue in my recent book "Promoting Progress." You might be interested in reading it, or at least subscribing to my Substack column.
