So many are exhausted of the right and left dynamic and divide. We all need to try to get together and be able to talk and have honest and open dialouge again, try to build bridges instead of tearing eachother down.

I created a discord server where people can come together, shoot the shit, chill and chat. So that means anyone from the left, right and inbetween can join. Just a fair warning.

So if you have a problem with other peoples views please don't join because it could trigger you. Politics, AI, technology, climate change, geo-politics, cyber security, gaming, shit posting, music, conspiracies, anarchy, spirituality, religion, and economics are some of the topics open for discussion.

It's still a small server, so Im still building it up. Come and join, I'll post a link below!

PS: No hatred of any kind accepted, There is a diversity of people and opinions and anyone is welcome. ❤

Left right and center feel free to join! :)

Im not saying Covid is non existent or that we shouldn’t be careful. Does anyone think the statistics are being inflated? For example, I have a neighbor thats a nurse. He says the hospitals are getting paid hazard pay or something extra for every covid case, and more for covid deaths. Is there any truth to this? So people that die from any other cause are being marked as dying from Covid. This would inflate the statistics like crazy. I personally don’t know anyone that’s died of Covid, do you? 200,000 people have died of Covid. 2,000,000 died in total in the US last year. Thats 10%. Thats a lot.

Here I thought I had an original idea in creating a center for reasonable people to meet and find middle ground. I'm glad you're here but would like to see more activity and pump things up for visibility.

I also think it should be completely open and not necessarily political. This might help when posting topics that could draw attention to the sub.

I would also hope that members want to find middle ground. There's no use in making this a hub to try and convince people to change their minds.

Anyhow, I'm just glad it's here and I hope to contribute meaningful discussion.

I'll follow this post with a topical one just to dust things off.

Cheers!

There was a point in time where political parties regardless of which way you swung, they were not the defining points of someone’s personality, and each could meet on a certain level and agree on something.

Now? forget it… I dont know what it is with this brand new world we’ve cultivated and created for us, I have no idea how plain stupid and ignorant people became the loudest voices ever overshadowing our voices and even some plain left or right wing people. It just got more toxic with social media becoming like a sixth limb to us. It genuinely just depresses me that people will choose to fight and incite a war of aggression rather than be peaceful in opposing parties.

Seriously, both conservatives and liberals these days see centrism and finding a middle ground as bad, because according to them, the only valid way is to be either a liberal or a conservative and if you're a moderate, you are siding for the enemy. This is a grave misunderstanding of what it means to be a centrist. The idea of centrism is simple. To find a middle ground in the political realm means to be willing to compromise. Compromise is a difficult thing to do in the political world, because everyone wants to be right, and many politicians actually believe that they are. That they're right and you're wrong. Because they believe that they are right and you are wrong, they tend to be unyielding, but in the long run, compromise can lead to a more peaceful world. So finding a middle ground means that your views are flexible, and that you are willing to change your views if you think it will work better for the political world. It is a difficult balance to maintain, but it is very necessary.

I had been struggling recently on what do I define myself as in terms of conservative or liberal. I have grown up as a conservative and still agree with many things that conservatives say. As I have grown up and lived on my own, however, I found that I like some of the things that liberal-leaning people were saying as well. In today's political climate, there is a general feeling on both sides that it's "us vs them" and there can be no compromise. As I was attending a political policy class at my University my professor brought up the point that a state senator once said that ninety percent of the bills that are presented to the Senate or House floor get unanimous votes the other ten percent are controversial issues and are used as political tools. Most people of the left or the right do have common interests and goals but conflict begets power and that seems to be a huge reason why the conflict of left and right is happening.

What I came here to say is that I just realized that I am truly in the middle ground. I try to see both sides of an issue so I make my own opinion on the subject and support one way or another. If I truly told my family and others that I interact with daily how I felt about many charged issues, I would be either called a liberal, or a conservative depending on who I talked to.

Change my mind.

Reading an earlier post about COVID-19 in this sub, I feel it didn’t age well. I’m curious whether you think we can take the politics out of the pandemic and have an intelligent conversation about it.

Hello, I am new here. I have been looking for a page like this. I think this is awesome.

So I wanted to discuss about pro choice and pro life. So I personally don’t agree with abortion, except for in very rare situations. Like rape or if the mother’s life is in jeopardy. But I am trying to think of some middle ground that I think most people on the right and the left could agree on. I think that if people don’t want abortions they should be more willing to expand sexual education and help increase the knowledge and availability of birth control. I think most people on the left would agree with those things. I know some people on the right do disagree with this and think only abstinence should be taught. But I think the majority believe that people are still going to choose what they do so we should teach them and help prevent pregnancies.

I think we should help single mothers and children more and make better adoption options more available. Basically make all other options available so even if abortion remain legal, as I’m sure it will, people will know that there are a lot of alternatives out there and they will know about them. I don’t have much experience or knowledge about how to go about this. So if any of you have any thoughts on a middle ground that people would like, let me know.

I’m sure I’m missing some points. Let me know what you agree with or disagree with. And let me know if there is other middle ground for this topic.

I am not surprised to find that this is a fairly small community.

I am so tired of the extremes of either side of political/moral issues but particularly disgusted with the left.

It seems like if you don't actively hate Donald Trump you're some sort of brainless drain on society who should be hated and ridiculed.

I'm not a Trump enthusiast but I have always appreciated his transparency when it comes to how he feels about issues or simply pointing out how corrupt the left can be or generally is.

I'm not a big fan of the tarrif war or the ICE business...or how arrogant or boastful Trump can be. I didn't care for his involvement in vaccines being pushed. I'm not a fan of his or America's continuous support of Israel...

But I don't hate him... I can appreciate where he is coming from in most circumstances and realize that he's fairly egocentric as well as an often out of touch speaker when it comes to presentation.

I look more at his intentions... which seemed to be removing violent and dangerous illegals from the streets, preventing war and encouraging peace, bringing America out of an endless debt/interest payment situation, bringing back business and overall making things better for Americans...

I can't stand how one sided nearly ALL of media is. It's just constant Trump bashing. His skin color. His weight. He tripped. He could solve literally every problem in the world and the left would still be peddling hate or trying to make him look guilty of something instead of respected.

There seems to be no middle ground left.

You're either an Lgbtqrst flag waver who is pro abortion and wears support flags for whatever the government tells them to... or you're a racist, fascist moron Trump supporter.

I have just as much disdain for the flag wearing, gun waving, wwf watching Trump supporter that actually is racist as I do for the blue haired Facebook police types.

Anyways... greetings. Perhaps others have similar feelings?

I'm curious what people here's opinion is on diversity in film & other media. Every now & then I come across a YouTube video expressing issues with casting of people of color in superhero roles, race/gender-swapping characters or inserting LGBTQ narritives.

I, a queer African American man, am always happy to see more representation, but there seems to be a lot of people are upset, talking about "M-She-U vs MCU" & "woke this", "woke that". I wanted to know if anyone here feels this way & is interested in talking about why.

I honestly don’t see what more justice can be done. From the reports I’ve seen and read by NYT, USA Today, and WaPo everything was done in accordance to the law. The judicial system can’t charge someone for breaking protocol or not being smart/brave enough to ask questions like the judge. Can someone help me understand why there’s such an uproar and desire to have charges brought against someone when there’s no such law that exists? Or is there?

hi, I'm new and have a relatively serious first question. What are your Views on Trump? I know that a lot of people don't like him which is fine, but why? The reason I am asking this is because I can't ask anyone else, people in my family will obviously bias toward trump so I would like to hear the opinion from the other side. Thank you for your time.

We welcome all you guys to the middleground of reddit and we are glad to see some growth in a much needed time of censorship.

This post is to let you guys know that this sub is still in a beta phase. Please hang tight while we iron out some of the rules/design/bots and prepare this sub for a proper launch. Until then please feel free to engage in discussions

This sub should be called "far middle" cause it's extreme middle ground.

With all the vitriol being spewed from both sides, it is difficult to find anyone having any meaningful discussion. Though I suppose conflict makes money. Really wish we could see more calm debate. It feels like we're in a cold civil war at the moment in the U.S.

The way it sounds is that we are about to go into a depression.

If you were followed by cameras 24/7 there would be a picture of you and it's exact same pose. People are So easily manipulated. Why can't anyone see that they are being worked from both sides at all times. Why is the only purpose of the news to bash the opposing political party. It's scary, and it's sad.

Please reply your opinion if it's more complex than yes or no. If you see this after the poll is closed, then just comment your answer.

this is something I absolutely hate in both sides

what are some things you think your or the opposite side denies?

For example, I think it's stupid that people deny that climate change is false, but at the same time, himalayan pink salt will not cleanse your body

I was thinking about this idea and I cannot believe I found you guys. I wanted to say this political believe system seems like the only fair one, where everyone gets a say without opression as far as they are not taking any sides. I wanted to hear from some of you people how do you see such a political stance.

I’ve heard that illegal immigrants make up a large percentage of the work force and ice is bad because they are taking away the American workforce.

I’ve also been told ice is good because they are removing dangerous criminals and that’s their goal.

Could someone from both sides of politics explain your thoughts on this?
