Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Despite the fact she's about out of the race, I think that Tulsi Gabbard is probably the closest to IDW principles. As an added bonus, Killary clearly doesn't like her, which makes her all the more attractive as a candidate in my book. I will admit that her military service and politics do make me scratch my head a bit. I think she's probably about the only one capable of independent thought at this point.

Is anyone here thinking about Andrew Yang? I personally wish Dan Crenshaw was running.

How so...? The primary IDW principle is "discuss with or debate all, insultingly shut down none". He has literally never done that.
There are 0 IDW leading figures that support, or even like him.
@Jay1973 considering that the leftist Dems are in a free stuff frenzy, can’t let go of collusion and seek to divide us along race, gender, nationality, etc, etc lines, I see Trump as the most sane candidate who has done great things for our economy, employment and stock market. Dems are race baiting, frothing at the mouth liars who seek to buy votes with free stuff we can’t afford. Not very Idw of them.
@Clammypollack I agree with you in the DNC but how is Trump aligned with the IDW just by running against someone who is not?
@Jay1973 you asked which candidate would uphold the IDW ideals. For the reasons stated, I feel that Trump would most likely do that and the democrat candidates are least likely to do that. Separating us by our sexuality, gender, race, nationality, etc., etc., etc. is not a very IDW thing to do. I am confident that Peterson would agree. For that matter, trying to get elected by promising free education, free loan forgiveness, reparations, a guaranteed national salary, Medicare for all among other freebies is also not so, especially in light of the fact that it is impossible to pay for all of those things so the promise is a lie.
I remember a time when my limited exposure to Nancy Pelosi made me think she was reasonable. Ummm, nope. She's a nutcase--worse, a dangerous nutcase who believes any heinous action is justified by the latent virtue of her own convictions. Terrifying.
SO, I have had some limited exposure to a few people on both sides where SO FAR they look reasonable. I don't trust it yet. I'd say Dan Crenshaw is one on the right and Andrew Yang on the left. I don't know if Crenshaw is the IDW type--don't know that about Yang either. And, I honestly just don't know enough about either to commit.

Not really. Because, again, I just want to hear who ppl think adheres by the principles of civil discourse, free speech, and refusal to polarize. If you research your candidates you'll find ar least one.
One that you won't necessarily vote for--I just wish to discuss people's research
