    How was it? The right says “we want to do genocide”, the left says “no, we don’t want any genocide”. So the right responded “ok, so let’s just do a little genocide”, and the left responded “no, we don’t want any genocide”. And the centrist said to the left “see, You are the extremists, you don’t want to meet in the middle”.

      Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man.
      You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.
      Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man.

      —A.R. Moxon

        On a related note, I really hate how our political system in the US tries to force parties to meet in the middle by allowing election results where neither party has the majority required for the government to actually function (pass laws and other critical functions)

      This is perfect. The right has gone so far to the right that meeting in the middle is still very much on the right.
