If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist. -Joseph Sobran

Since both parties are majority extremists, I prefer to minimize the Federal. If the states and local can do it, they should. One size does NOT fit all. What works in SanFrancisco probably doesn’t work all that well in Mississippi.
Diversity ! Let there be fifty individual self governing states.
The fed does some things well, like defending our borders ? Well maybe not that..
Politicians are sociopathic control Freaks, power mongers and megalomaniacs. I want them as far away from my personal life as possible. Put them in charge of large infra structures and disaster relief.
If it has anything to do with peoples individual freedoms, it’s is off limits.
Re apportion tax $ as required. The Fed will be 1/3 of its current size and power.
Let the axe fall where it may.
Many heads need to roll.
While we are at it, let’s find a better class of human to lead us and a less divisive means of selecting them.
Media had proven themselves incapable of being unbiased or incorruptible, so NO more political adds.

If you don’t mind drinking water from a river that just caught fire, or huffing smoke from that factory smokestack, you’re just a suicidal nut, into self harm.

What makes an extremist is drinking clean water and breathing clean air, BUT whinging about the regs and “Big Government” that bring them to you. Extremism is stupidity and hypocrisy in the name of simplistic political theory you’re addicted to.

if you want gov't to intervene on your behalf and to your own advantage you are just a normal human being. think about it.

You must first define what will be to my advantage for more than a few decades to convince me that some task that is performed by my government is to my advantage, otherwise I'm abnormal.

@ScottforKing
Gov't programs, initiatives, policies is a very broad spectrum that is or are to the advantage of you and everyone else. Perhaps you are an anarchist? Is that it? If you do not or will not recognize that Gov't or Governance is to the advantage of everyone who lives within a given society who has set up their own Governmental system of laws, policies and services is to every ones advantage then IMHO this would make you an anarchist.
Like Trump was the lesser of two evils in the last election it is also true that Governance is the lesser of two evils vs anarchy

@iThink It's not an either one or the other. There is a place in the middle where there is balance, where most people are happy and the extremists are not. That is a place where government is limited to dealing with peoples needs not focused on mainly their wants.

@ScottforKing that's a different albeit valid argument.

@iThink It's the only legitimate argument in a true democracy.

@ScottforKing again - this is beside the point of my original comment
