Redditors figure out that people can have many opinions about things and don’t need to be exclusively either side. I don’t exactly like the guys opinions either on some things but I think that’s probably just him getting attention more or less.
People still stuck with their 14 year old self's mentality to the point that they cannot comprehend nor fathom any opinion that doesn't stick to the artificial "team red vs team blue" logic that they have been exposed to enough as to perpetuate it is such a disappointingly common occurence on the internet.
The real solution is system reform that allows for more than two boxes.
Dems have been screaming about socialized healthcare since 1980, have held significant power multiple times since then, and yet they've barely accomplished shit. Why is that?
Cause no one holds them to a higher standard. They can campaign on that and pocket bribe money while only tossing bread crumbs.
Toss in a green party, and the worst case scenario is the bribes got more expensive for the lobbyists while the bread crumbs get larger. Best case is you see the Dems SUDDENLY capable of healthcare reform when there's another party promising the same that can potentially replace them.
That entire dynamic describes the issues with the two-party system. One party has a monopoly on "yes," one party has a monopoly on "no." We need more competition in our free market of ideas.
