"No, it's more like 95%."

I would agree with the notion that 95% of the people in the US don't have
original or deep thoughts on the subject of politics.

No, it's more like 95%.  I hardly ever have to use "disagree" with
thoughtful people because whatever their proposal is, if it differs
from mine, is usually well thought out and therefore unassailable.

For example, let's say you're on a road trip and down to 10% on a
tank.  You propose stopping now, but your wife does a few calculations
and says you don't have to stop another 50 miles.

While one of those approaches is conservative and one is liberal, they
are both within reason.  While you could say there's a disagreement,
there really isn't.  Both don't want to run out of gas and both
approaches prevent that.

The questions usually come in the details.  For example, maybe
stopping immediately puts you in a bad neighborhood.  Now you need to
do a more detailed examination.

The popular political disagreements usually have one side or another
ignoring the circumstances, such as the bad neighborhood.  Whoever
does that has decided not to think.
