[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider myself a moderate these days. I hold pretty left wing values - I am anti racist, pro poor, pro reproductive rights. I worked for USAID before its destruction. But I am a moderate in that I am a pragmatist. I respect that other people disagree with me vehemently, and while I can believe they are wrong and harmful with every speck of my being…[b]I still acknowledge their right to their opinions and to be equal participants in our democracy.[/b] And I can negotiate, discuss, and partner with them to find compromise that will give us each some of what we want, but not all. I have faith that doing things this way will result in gradual progress and stability, which I value more than having every bit of what I believe in now without compromise.[/quote]

I agree with you but where I differ is that the current "conservative" that embraces "nazism" and racism and other "i-sms" basically don't want equal rights for all. and I cannot compromise on value that is supposed to be foundational to our country. I am not interested in compromising with racists etc.[/quote]
