Produktbeschreibung

Are you tired of the political discord between the two major political parties and feel a deep rift among the electorate? Well, the author does and dives into our current divisive political climate and its impact on our social climate. And he places much of the blame on our politicians for this disharmony. While self-identifying as fiscally conservative but more socially liberal, the author previously felt he was a lifelong moderate Republican. However, he has become disenchanted with the GOP of late. He examines many of the typically divisive topics that often distinguish Republicans and Democrats. Exploring other political parties was also enlightening and now realizes he is more moderate/centrist than previously thought. Today's politicians often pander to their extremist ends, rarely considering the middle third of the electorate that identify as moderate. If a formidable moderate/centrist candidate could wrest away the dominance of the two major parties by providing some competition, it could force the Republican and Democratic politicians to act better. After all, competition in the marketplace can help bring down prices for our betterment: wouldn't more competition in the political arena also be for our betterment? The author shows that some middle ground may be met by offering some simple solutions to often complex political topics. If more of the electorate could lean towards the middle, further away from the far right and left extremist ends, then we could gain additional support for more moderate major party candidates or even prevalent third-party candidates.
