To me, the answer is simply being civil and diplomatic. I've
never affiliated with any side* myself. I'm 43 years old. Always
independent. I have 'left leanings' but also understand that the
right makes valid points as well.
Yet, I don't seem to be a centrist.
I took a 'political quiz' to determine where I fit on a
four-square chart of political leanings.
Seems I'm even more left than the Dalai Lama. From what I could
figure, I seemed to end up as a "Social Anarchist" or something
like that... whatever that is.
