  • I think the fact that you’ve spent a lot of time in liberal organizations is why you think that way about where it falls on the continuum between progressivism and conservatism.

    Interesting that you characterize my statement as "both sides"ing. I would say the thrust of my statement is not “both sides” but “one side”. America does not have a progressive party, only conservative and conservative-lite. Given the choice, of course I’ll choose the latter, not least because the former is so far off the deep end it may never recover as a party. That does not mean I think that both parties are the same.

    Visually:

    --------Progressivism ------------------------ Center ------ Liberalism --------------------------- Conservatism.
















  • Moving towards something doesn’t imply that cars are being obliterated or banned. Funnily enough, whenever I’m in an unpleasant altercation with a driver, they tend to have plates from far away. If they want to drive their cars out in the country, they can do so - when you’re in a dense urban area (which is the most sustainable way to arrange people), you can park and get on the subway with the rest of us.
