I am sick and tired of radicalism

It doesn't work. It is just divisive and self destructive.

I am not going to debate the point. That goes against my nature but I will not be drawn into a pissing match as I have been here so many times. I have expressed my opinion. It is my opinion and I am not going to change it.

and historically, populist movements are not majority movements.

I'm with you. I want some good old fashioned good government.

Radicals make a lot of noise. Practical results, not so much.

That is why I said that radicalism doesn't work.
