Quote:The "radical" in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[3] The "centrism" refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion.[4] Thus one radical centrist text defines radical centrism as "idealism without illusions",[5] a phrase originally from John F. Kennedy.[6]
I'm failing to see the problem with this. I think many of our institutions do need fundamental reform, and what's the problem with realistic and pragmatic solutions?
Is that really the criticism? "What are you doing be so pragmatic and shit? We need to get emotional!"

It’s also the criticism, essentially. It’s just st a bunch of “it might not work really, really well.” Criticism if far right and left make that look laughable.

Some of the criticism is internal and some of it is based on criticizing it's core assumptions .But even if it does come from the far left or right that's a genetic fallacy .And no they are far from laughable and should be taken seriously as any other criticism .

So there we have it: the biggest victim in family separation tragedy are the Trump family.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

At best you can call Fonda's comments in poor taste, but you CANNOT treat his "How would you like it if someone kidnapped your kid" intent as being the same as THE ACTUAL REAL ACTIONS of Trump.
THE TWO ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE SAME......
Trump has money, and power and security, poor people escaping crime and poverty and war DO NOT have the same benefit. Trump has been bullying people who do not have the power or money to defend themselves.
Stop staring at my finger when I am pointing to the orange moon.
Trump is a vile disgusting human. He is taking our country politically down a very dark road, one that if other politicians see his formula as a winning tactic, will lead to even worse.
Then YOU are not better than Trump. You are just jealous. And I mean YOU, not the other people that make valid criticism of Trump. YOU just fuel his rethoric and validate it.
It is evident in this thread, that people just blindly sheep partisan politics. You became so blinded by Trump's rethoric, that you can do nothing but became what he is.
But then I am not US nor even a citizen of that place on earth. Word to the wise, when you spend your time fighting monsters, you became a monster yourself.

You do realize the Fonda tweet is a separate issue? None of the parties involved were even near Mexico.

Twisting things that others didn’t say doesn’t remove the issue.
