I'm concerned by how many people are saying discussion between the right & left is pointless. Whats the alternative? Civil war?

I would rather see the left putting the focus on our own ideas/candidates and promoting why they’re better.

Absolutely. We need to reach out to reasonable left and right - centre-left & right - & push out extremists.

reasonable, yes. There is an enormous section of the right, however, that is blatantly, proudly, unreasonable.

And on the left! I still think the middle is much larger tho.

yes, but I think the people you were referring to above are talking about debating the unreasonable right.

I really don't think so. Getting so tribal. Lefties are all SJWs and Righties are all racists. Very worrying.

but the point is the more we attack, the more we push reasonable moderates into the extremes.

That is true, yes. Why I am saying the reasonable centre needs to unite & stop generalising other side with the worst

completely agree. Calling ppl racists and sjws is as galvanising as it is unhelpful..

Yes. I meant that what was worryingly tribal was people saying that Lefties are all SJWs and Righties are all racists

think we're in 100% agreement. When we attack we force ppl to fight for a side. Reason then invariably disappears
