Good article. Governance should not simply be winner take all. It should be a multi-partisan approach with a goal of benefitting the many.

no need for choice between truth and justice. Justice can't exist without truth.

But let's remember, moderate approaches are also only good in moderation. No one argues that our response to racism should be moderate.
-
The benefit of a democratic system is the best ideas can win out. Middle Ground is a really bad place to be for democracy.
-
Where in democracy does it say that the best ideas win out? The most popular maybe. The best would require a rational voter.
-
That's how democracy is set up to work. That's why there's an amendment process in our constitution. People are flawed, not the system.
-
If a system is built to work via a flawed mechanism, people, then that system is flawed. A toothpaste powered car is still a shitty car, no?
-
You are suggesting we need to implement a non-person system?
-
I was not making a suggestion. And perhaps what we have now is the best we can do. I was disputing that we end up at the best policies.
-
Our system provides the mechanism for best ideas winning out. It's how we decide to educate our society that determines whether it works.

That being a moderate makes you a dispassionate rationalist, free of ideology, is one of the great farces of our time.

Perhaps moderation merely means that there is neither vice nor virtue but only in between

Is it fair to claim; When moderates take the stand, justice can be afforded.
