Are you tired of the political discord between the two major political partiesand feel a deep rift among the electorate? Well, the author does and divesinto 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, theauthor previously felt he was a lifelong moderate Republican. However, hehas become disenchanted with the GOP of late. He examines many of thetypically divisive topics that often distinguish Republicans and Democrats.Exploring other political parties was also enlightening and now realizes heis more moderate/centrist than previously thought. Today’s politicians oftenpander to their extremist ends, rarely considering the middle third of theelectorate that identify as moderate. If a formidable moderate/centristcandidate could wrest away the dominance of the two major parties byproviding some competition, it could force the Republican and Democraticpoliticians to act better. After all, competition in the marketplace can helpbring down prices for our betterment: wouldn’t more competition in thepolitical arena also be for our betterment?The author shows that some middle ground may be met by offering somesimple solutions to often complex political topics. If more of the electoratecould lean towards the middle, further away from the far right and left extremistends, then we could gain additional support for more moderate major partycandidates or even prevalent third-party candidates.
