In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

To me, pessimism just denotes a bit of reality-based thinking.

I think that's an idea held by a lot of people. Optimists are typically thought of as being irrational, while pessimists are thought of as being more reasonable and realistic. Personally however, I think an overly pessimistic outlook is hardly supported by the data. There are obviously many reasons to be concerned, but I think most things are getting better, and if we can plan responsibly, that should continue.
