You sound reasonable until you mention "The uninformed who want free stuff vs the informed who provide free stuff". I am a left leaning centrist who is informed and has paid a large amount of taxes that provide free stuff for more rich than poor, and police and fire protection, and infrastructure that benefit all. Many people who vote for democrats are successful, well informed, and moral people, and many are not. Many people who vote for republicans are poorly informed, takers, who lack morals, and many are not. Underestimating the opposition is a mistake. Making an effort to understand the legitimacy of the opposition positions makes you better able to counter those positions.
