In a world of political factions that are as irreconcilable as black and white , what do you think of those who choose to live in the grey?

I see myself as a bridge over the abyss. I don't know who lives down there.

They get mistaken as the other side by both sides and get clobbered twice

They could be the sane people.

@WintaTheAngle "Sane" is an extremely subjective concept.

We need free, unencumbered leaders.

'Irreconcilable as black and white'?! You don't live in the grey dude. Your a shit stirrer.

@Thevy29 Sensitive aren’t we?
Same as those that stay neutral in a war.

... Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

@canusernamebemyusername You seem to miss half the message. The extremists at both end of the spectrum are the ones coming after you. You're right, it is the great silent majority in the middle that needs to speak up to stop that happening, but trying to find a middle ground is not being silent and flocking to one extreme or another is not a solution (except a final one, in the Hitler/Stalin vernacular).
Conservatives benefit from this. Our two party system elevates these incoherent Liars above the majority in their election system.

The grey is only for lazy people who don't want to think too hard

@Jackaloftheazuresand Au contraire. It is when you consider the nuances and overlaps rather than snapping to attention to one extreme or the other that you have to begin thinking.

I’m in the grey. It means being kinda hated by both sides mostly .
Fence sitters.
Worm-tongues of middle earth.

I know you don't mean literally but we need some grey folks around to ease tensions
