Is political moderacy true sanity / nirvana / bliss?

[AVID]

Yes, I've been feeling a bit crazy, conflicted, and sad the last few months - maybe I'm too extreme - :shrug:

1. It's being content with mediocrity.

True blah-ness is going through life in mortal fear of stepping on anyone's toes even if they cut the line on you. You don't want that!

Sometimes it seems hopeless, sure.

But look, even if we live our whole lives never seeing any of our liberal dreams come true we can look back at the end and say "At least we pissed off some repukes and that in itself made it a life worth living."
