Joe Biden, Governance & the Law of Physics

[Budi]

The Center is the ONLY successful & sustainable place to govern a nation of 300,000,000 citizens.


It's the oldest law in the world.
It's the Center.

Thanks Joe.

1. Now, if we just HAD a center, we'd be all set.

[Budi]

2. Yup. If we were ALLOWED to have a Center...

Wat happens when you remove that guy, that point in the center holding the balance ?

I believe it swings out of control & off kilter.

3. As a leftist, I agree

The role of the left - here or in any other democracy - is mainly to advocate, and introduce reforms. Not necessarily to govern.

Besides which, their proposals get much, much further - and are much more likely to endure - in a coalition with centrists, where centrists are behind the wheel.

Centrists usually have much more in common with the left, in most democracies, than with right-wingers - most of whom have become obsessed with bringing back 19th century-style governance.

If not 15th century.

Anyone on the left that forgets this threat, is only carrying water for the fascist right.

4. Something I agree with. Left seeks Reform

the Center seeks balance. The Right is always seeking Dominance.

5. +1

And cruelty. Right-wingers love their cruelty.

I recall reading that there's a close correlation between child abuse, and growing up to be conservative - especially if another sibling is treated with favoritism.

With many exceptions, of course - but I don't doubt these experiences affect a person's political leanings as they grow up.
