What's a subject where you have a point of view but can see the other side of it too? [View all]
One example for me is that I'm a left wing democratic socialist. I prefer bold candidates who are clearly anti-war, pro-diversity, pro-union, pro-universal health care. I believe in tightly reigning in big banks, closing every big-corporate tax break, investing heavily in alternative energy. In every election I vote for the most far left candidate available. I believe it's the best course of action to improve our economy and the lives of all Americans.
I understand why many say you've got to put forth a candidate who appeals to a broader range of voters. Particularly regarding the next President. I understand that progressive strides can be made in smaller chunks, like the ACA to get more people insured and lower costs, free community colleges, a student loan bill of rights, free day care for working mothers, things of that nature.
What's a subject here at DU where you have a point of view, yet can understand another's point of view as well. And why? Thoughtful comments are most welcome.
