Obviously, I won't get anything close to a real "cross section" on a "politics board", and might not be that close here, but at least it's more likely than the politics board.
Sifting through the internet, one sees extreme left or extreme right and nothing else.
The "loud" voices are either screaming "Trump is awesome" or "Trump needs to be #$%$^@$% and is not my president" from Americans.
And I wonder if this is truly 45% extreme left and 45% extreme right, with only 10% in the middle anywhere of the complete extreme.
Or is there a "silent majority" today.
Back when I was a new fangled puke like all you new fangled pukes (no offense) there was a "silent majority".
Now that "silent majority" was a bit more conservative based. So maybe I shouldn't bring it up. Because today's silent majority would obviously be more moderate based, if there is a "silent majority".
And I don't know. I see all the wild hatred and divisiveness and wonder if those "haters" are the majority.
So that's why I take this poll.
The Edit: NOW WHEN I SAY "ALWAYS RIGHT", TAKE IT TO MEAN 83% OR 5 OF EVERY 6 CASES, to answer the poll, please.
I trust you all are acquainted with the "left" and "right". I know there'll be some joker who will say "Now righty Bob Gibson was better than lefty Steve Carlton". So go ahead and get that out of the way.

The left does less wrong than the right

óne observation from an interested outsider -
both American parties are right-wing by international standards. People who call the Democrats "socialists" are plain stupid.

I would like to think of something the left does that is good.
So far, I can't.

Both have their rights and wrongs.
I am a combination of both, and the extremes on both sides piss me off.
The extreme left is really starting to get on my nerves though. This PC BS is infuriating to me.

Ffs, do this on the politics board, believe me you'll get answers. I would get answers, but the very fact that it's a "politics board" really disqualifies horribly as far as finding how many people are "mid ground" or a silent majority. I'm wondering if there is a "silent majority" of people in the middle we don't hear enough from.

The people who call themselves the "silent"  majority today won't shut the heck up.

I believe the majority of the voting public are moderates who think the country has gone insane. I think a lot of people are being pushed towards the middle by all the asinine behavior. I consider myself an independent pragmatist. I lean right on some issues, left on others.

Both the left and right suck and i am sick of both of them.
Most people are probably in the center\moderate.

The left probaly does less wrong. I just wish they weren't so smug and self-righteous about it.
