- 01:50:28 I could write my own "why I am moving left" thing. It would be different, but quite similar to those last two.
- 01:52:09 I think of myself as a centrist with libertarian leanings. But if you have to put me in left/right, I have been gradually moving left.
- 01:57:32 And while I don't feel comfortable with most Democrats either, the Republicans more and more just scare me.
- 01:59:14 I feel like even when I agree with them on some issues, I can't possibly support them for fear of accidentally helping the crazies too.
- 02:03:02 Maybe if the R's ditched the anti-science, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-secular, pro-war, racists that want to bring back the 1910's…
- 02:04:38 Then maybe I could seriously consider them again. But they seem to be resisting moving into the future with everything they have.
- 02:06:10 To be fair, some are trying. I am heartened that even though they aren't perfect the Libertarian strain of the Rs seems to be growing.
- 02:08:18 But for now… That's not where things are. Maybe in another generation. Maybe. :-)

- 03:54:49 Retweeted @ScottNY71 03:52:17 @abulsme Have you been moving left or has the country been moving to the right around you? in reply to abulsme
- 03:56:29 .@ScottNY71 Good question. I think I have moved some. I am less doctrinaire and more "flexible" on many topics now. More "whatever works". in reply to ScottNY71
- 03:57:45 .@ScottNY71 Also not sure general public has moved THAT much. But the parties HAVE both moved to the right I think. in reply to ScottNY71
- 03:59:02 .@ScottNY71 That recent raft of Pew stuff said a bunch about all this stuff, but I never ended up having time to look beyond the headlines. in reply to ScottNY71

- 04:03:12 Retweeted @ScottNY71 04:02:38 @abulsme Too far left is just as bad as too far right. I just wish they'd stop digging their heels in so deep and work together. Once. in reply to abulsme
- 04:06:32 .@ScottNY71 Our system doesn't really incentivize cooperation these days. Maybe someday. in reply to ScottNY71
- 04:07:40 .@ScottNY71 Of course, I generally am actually MOST scared about the few things where the D's and R's actually agree! Watch out on those! in reply to ScottNY71

- 04:22:20 Retweeted @ScottNY71 04:09:36 @abulsme I just wish they'd stop fighting so much, stopping decent legislation & then blaming the other party for doing nothing. Both do it. in reply to abulsme
