Politics for the Rest of Us is for anyone tired of the same old political arguments between “left” and “right”, conservative and liberal. It’s for anyone suspect of the mainstream media but who love America and want it to live up to its ideals from a pragmatic optimism rooted in reason, fairness, and a heavy dose of what I call cynical optimism.

A place for politics from a cynical optimist tired of the left/right paradigm

People

Raised in an immigrant, patriotic, working class family, Politics for the Rest of Us is a place to talk politics outside of the Left vs Right paradigm. I hope you’ll stick around for new ideas, and fun stories with few fucks left to give.
