[quote=Anonymous]https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/19/media/reliable-sources-tim-dixon-podcast/index.html "They found that 67% of the country is what the organization calls the "Exhausted Majority," a group that is displeased by America's polarization and would like for people to find a common ground." I'm in that middle. Of course, here I'm called a "troll" because I see a middle ground. Or a "Trumper" if I don't follow Democratic orthodox-y. On a more Republican-leaning forum I participate in, people are more likely to ignore or lightly engage with comments outside their political view. It's not as vindictive, although probably as unwilling to consider an alternate viewpoint. And before anyone gets twitchy that I'm calling Democratic-leaning people more vindictive, I'm fairly sure it doesn't fall to the depths seen here only because pseudonyms are required. The article talks about polarized news media as one of the potential issues. But I wonder if being able to engage anonymously, or even pseudo-anonymously doesn't also encourage such divisiveness.[/quote]
