"The truth lies somewhere in the middle"
Not anymore.

The "center" has shifted so far to the right and is dumbed down so badly that I can no longer accept that saying as true.

Another subjective saying is, "common sense"...WTF does that mean?
I have seen 2 CONS on another discussion group agree with each other on some far out, far right view and then say to one another, "It's good to find another person with some 'common sense'".

2. Middle of what? Truth lies wherever it emerges.....
....Common sense has no standard other than it my be the shared opinion of a commonly uniformed mass of people.

3. "No longer"? That was NEVER a good heuristic.
The most one could ever say is that it's sometimes in the middle.

And sometimes it's not merely at one end, but well off the end of the permitted spectrum of consideration.

4. That whole argument is nothing but a fallacy anyhow.
The only reason it ever had a place in politics was because of the verbatum: 'Nothing gets done without bi-partisan compromise'
