Our readingGenuinely open-minded political thinking tends toward centrism or non-political issues, since ideological extremes mostly signal tribal loyalty or serve the power-hungry.

Their wordsHigh rung thinking will almost always land on "centrist" position because it acknowledges tradeoffs, or on non-politicized positions because it's not beholden to supporting either of the two parties in a zero-sum game. It's not a coincidence that the political square is a triangle.
