I really encourage you to avoid the language of "they" and "we." It's a discussion, and it doesn't need to be an attack of which you are putting yourself on a side, or as you put it, binary thinking. As written I can't know if you are talking about either the right or left.

I think you want to read my comment a certain way and it's not allowing you to, so you posted both:

> it doesn't need to be an attack of which you are putting yourself on a side

and also

> I can't know if you are talking about either the right or left

Which are contradictory, if you think about it. I am not sure what you want me to write if I can't use "they" to refer to other people. Also, I didn't use "we", something you somehow also seem to want me to say, and didn't.
