So many questions on here lately deal with third-party candidates and alternatives to right and left. I don't get it.
Yes, there is a center, and most of us are somewhere near it, but there is a line in the exact center and we are all either to the right or the left of it. For example, I am a Republican, no question, but I believe in keeping Roe vs Wade intact. So I fall to the left there, but to the right on almost everything else.
People who don't like the fact that they're either right or left always bring up third parties as if there's an answer there. The truth is, the Green Party is farther left than the Dems, the Liberatarians are further right than the Reps and the Independents just flat don't know what position to take on any argument at all. (And if they do, it makes them lean either to the right or to the left.) So how is this an answer?
I just don't understand why people think there can be a third way besides right or left. It puzzles me. Can you enlighten me?
