Help! I am politically homeless
I don’t know where I stand politically anymore. I have two ideologies—one idealistic, one practical—and neither fits neatly into today’s categories. I believe in decentralization, radical empathy, and the right to live outside the binary. But the current climate doesn’t make space for that. Now, even crunchy granola people and divine feminine types are treated like a threat. Is it possible to want equity and nuance, sovereignty and compassion? If that makes me a centrist—or a libertarian—I guess I’ll take the label. I just want my doughnut hole back: a clear, compassionate center.
