My roommate told me yesterday that he's considering going to a college republican meeting. Not because he's republican, the opposite is far truer, but he says that he feels like we are just making each other more and more alienated as we continue in our respective campaigns, that the left people are just pissing the right off and if we don't understand each other's opinions nothing will ever really happen in terms of representation. What do y'all think about this (all 3 of you)? I feel like there is at least a grain of truth in this. His example was the war, and how it just made people hate us more and so was counterproductive to the "war on terror." Are we alienating the right so much that they will never see our point of view, or us theirs? Would it be helpful to us if we understood each other more? Or would that run the risk of making us all moderates who didn't always uphold the morals of either side? God knows I'm not conservative in practically any way I can think of, but obviously a lot of people are. Are we mistaken in not trying to see where they are coming from? Let me know what you think, please.
