I could not agree with you more: “Influence over outrage”…”Cancel culture hasn’t gone away…it has simply changed jerseys.”…”choosing the strategies that protect pluralism, freedom, human dignity rather than strategies that fuel hate”…”strengthen democracy by healing it, not burning it down”…”I am on team human.”
This is exactly where I stand, how I feel, the way I engage in conversation with close friends far right and far left. Thank you for this articulation of how we preserve Freedom in these fractured times!

Love you
Well said, thank you.
Perhaps instead of taking the “third” path, one could say the “middle” path to borrow from Eastern philosophy.

This is a beautiful analogy!
Thank you Cathy :) I appreciate you saying so.

I actually voted for the third party candidate on several occasions, not that I thought they could win but as a protest against the prevailing norms.
