Congressman Dent of PA, a center-right Republican, resigned today and said that the Center is the pragmatic problem solving group between the extremes and is not well represented in congress. I'm all for problem solving, and being practical, although in many cases the progressive wing is just trying to do that, while centrists compromise with the extreme right that predominates today. But sometimes it's good to have representatives who can work across the aisle. People are not always limited to the label that is put on them, and can find solutions that are acceptable, if they look for them.Well, I'm OK with tax cuts for us and I'm OK with liberals spending billions of tax dollars to keep themselves and their programs viable regardless of the outcome/result. I mean WTF, who cares, we ain't 4t yet. BTW, if David Hogg doesn't want to be viewed as a blue, he shouldn't have become so closely associated/affiliated with the blues and he shouldn't have started acting like a blue and so forth. He chose a side and he'll be stuck on that side for the rest of his life.
Young people like David Hogg, if they become lawmakers someday, can work together with others, because they think it's possible. They identify as Americans, not as blues. Extreme right-wing trolls and gun nuts still knock and insult him today anyway, though, with the most obvious and shameless lies conceivable.
