I really enjoy the debates on this forum, but I feel like a moderate in the uncomfortable position of having to be a token lefty. I mean, out in the real world, I am routinely attacked and insulted from both sides. That should make me something of a centrist, relatively speaking. But on this forum I feel like I'm out in left field. What's with that?
Let me give you guys an example. I voted for President Obama and I'm pretty much satisfied with the job he's doing so far... with some exceptions. OK, considering that he won the election by a significant majority and still is enjoying very high approval ratings, that should put me in the mainstream. Especially, since the more liberal groups are beginning to attack the President for not fully carrying out their agendas.
Yet on this forum, everybody, ...well almost everybody, seems further to the right. OK that's cool. Still a lot of smart people with interesting opinions... But where are the lefties? Don't socialists practice the martial arts? It seems like there should be some Commies from Krav Maga or something. What did the KGB use? Help me out here, guys.
