The Middle Ground

Equally disgusted with the woke far left and the crazy far right. Don't leave the primaries to the fringe voters - VOTE for the sane middle!

Political Cycle:

(1) Things are good, people become complacent
(2) Liberal voters who "want things" and have hands out have the primaries to themselves, vote in left-wing (LW) politicians
(3) LW Politicians spend on stupid stuff, crime up and quality of life down
(Continued...)

@VernBuchanan Thank you for your service. To secure your legacy, I hope you can get the Sunshine Protection Act passed this year, that would be a great way to secure a great win for the American people!

@NYCMayor What's the point of having laws if we don't enforce them? Either CHANGE the law, or ENFORCE what's on the books. That's your JOB.

@nmeyersohn How can you write an article on this and avoid the most important issue people are concerned about, that they will become a magnet for more homeless and drug addicts and quickly unusable? Does the govt have a plan to address this? This is the opposite of investigative journalism.

@turbotax Please fix the error with 1099-INT/DIVs in the "I'll type it in myself" option, as no box to enter the Payor's FEIN appears when you use this option. (The FEIN box appears with scan-in and download options.) I used DIY Premier online as my software.

@BBCMaryam Your Groundhog Day gag was clever...very clever!

@RepFine Hey Randy the vast majority of Americans dont give a crap about all the finger pointing and the whole Dem vs Rep drama. We're tired of a dysfunctional congress. We just want Congress to work together for the benefit of Americans. Move the US forward or get out of the way

@smerconish As to the choice of which primary independents should vote in, they should vote in the primary for the party that usually wins the general election in that district.

[The Middle Ground @Moderates4Ever]

@smerconish Open primaries are the key to bringing mainstream voters to choose our candidates for the general election. Right now its just the far-right and far-left showing up at primaries and making decisions for the rest of us as to who we get as general-election choices.

@berniemoreno NO AMERICAN WANTS THIS BILL - your job is to "represent" your constituents, not "dictate" what you personally want to impose on all Americans. Quit being a clown and withdraw this ridiculous proposal.

[The Middle Ground @Moderates4Ever]

@AnilBeephanjr How wonderful. But we would prefer you focus on reducing crime, eliminating the massive wasteful spending in NY, reducing taxes, and figuring out how to attract business to NY instead of them all going to Florida and Texas. How about that instead of cell phone outages.

@nypmetro @nypmetro - I'd love to see you guys do a story on what "security guards" in hospitals, drugstores, and other retail places actually do. Why is a so-called "security guard" the one who needed to be rescued? Do they do nothing in the places they are stationed?

[The Middle Ground @Moderates4Ever]

@BrittanyWallman @MiamiHerald @WLRN Thank you for the clarification. That statistic (which you should add to your current article) makes the article's case more compelling in regards to the need for additional public safety guardrails.

When government seems incapable of building housing, fixing schools or balancing budgets, even sympathetic voters lose faith.

If Democrats want to rebuild that faith, they must rediscover the lost art of competence.

My take:

[The Middle Ground @Moderates4Ever]

@JustinBrannan You owe it to yourself to get the perspective of someone who's non-partisan like Fareed Zakaria. His "take" this week about NYC was spot-on. And it reflects the reason that I and many others like me have moved to Florida (or Texas or other such locales). https://t.co/UYBspRuEB0

@MTA All you have to do is enforce the rules to make for a good subway experience. Floor-to-ceiling turnstiles that prevent turnstile jumping is not that hard. And its time to enforce a no-open-music-without-headphones policy like other transit systems do: https://t.co/CC9CVWkT1x

@elonmusk This only works if you combine fiscal convervatism with more popular social policies - pro-choice, pro-climate, etc. Think Michael Bloomberg's policies. If you stick to the right on social issues you'll lose all the voters who would have come over from the Democratic party.

@BodegaCatNYC @NYCMayor You mean 3% a year when inflation is 4-5%? Gurl, take an economics or math class to understand what's actually happening. Its ignorant people like you who dont understand how economics works.

[The Middle Ground @Moderates4Ever]

@ZohranKMamdani Correction: You're any thinking New Yorker's worst nightmare. Particularly those who have taken a basic economics class which you clearly haven't.

@nypost Did you see that face? Her teeth should be the least of her cosmetic concerns.
