Modern America has a new political group emerging. This group is the middle. Not the middle of the country but the middle of the political spectrum. Apparently, I fit into this new middle.
This new middle America is mostly pessimistic. The middle dislikes the republicans and dislikes the democrats. Ironically, it is mostly made up of democrats or republicans who both dislike the two party system. It advocates for the abolition of the two party system. They don't trust the government and don't like its current situation. They want less government in most areas. Internationally we should stop being the global police and domestically we should regulate less. This new middle is where I belong. Most of these facts accurately describe my philosophy.
Although the new middle is not a political party, it often sides with democrats. They don't want to talk about guns. They don't want to talk about god. They definitely don't want prayer in schools.
On the topic of government participation, the center is slightly hypocritical. They think that help should be offered only to those who really need it but other than that government should stay out of there lives. Marijuana should be legal and so should abortion in the first three months according to the new middle. This new middle is made up of a lot of white people. It's not as white as the right, but still, it's white. It is also mostly middle class. They are fine with tax raises and support taxing the rich more. In their free time the new middle drinks, recycles, and watched TV.
Most importantly, the new middle is up for grabs. They disagree with both political parties in general. Neither is doing a great job according to the middle. So does this mean we need a new system? Will a third party emerge? Who knows. All we know is that there's a new philosophy in town and it's not happy.
