There really can be no meeting in the middle to the left because the ideas being opposed by the right are those that involve fundamental rights for those groups.

The "fun" thing about this sentence is about the same number of people will vehemently agree with it as it is and if you swap "left" and "right".

[huytersd]

I don’t think it’s swappable. No one on the right is losing fundamental rights due to the lefts views. They might see a decrease in the quality of their lives (reduced privilege, sharing job options with immigrants etc.), but it’s not a fundamental attack to their personhood.

the fun thing about that argument is it can be applied to creationism vs. science, too, but we know that one of those is wrong and the other right

turns out "a minority of people with me" isn't that convincing of an argument

[sebastiennight]

"fundamental lefts"?

[nvoeiah]

And that's perfectly fine. Not everything needs to be a "meeting in the middle" or a "compromise". Ideas need not be watered down.
