Holy strawman. Ironically, by reducing all those platforms to one extremist opinion he is doing exactly the same thing he is whining about.

Discourse evaporated when the rightwing and Faux "News" declared "compromise" as blasphemy. That's why so many moderate Republicans will still vote along party lines, despite knowing the candidate is batshit crazy. To vote Democrat is to commit suicide to those people.

Edit: was trying to get this comment done before kid woke up from nap and barely made it. Fixed the faux pa.

I've only ever heard left wingers claim that compromise is 'blasphemy' or that "center politics" is just for people who are too afraid to admit they are right wing.

Fuck, there's even memes abotu being centrist is being OK with half the holocaust or the KKK.

Your comment is exactly the insane shrill partisan hackery that is the problem.

BAM - just immediately guns blazing accusing the other side of what your side is guilty of.

It doesn't even matter. Hard right and hard left are all just fucking nut job low IQ idiots with different flavours of asshole populism.

Horseshoe theory is as clear as day to anyone not on the extremes.

Yes, I agree! It's the OTHER guys who are to blame this!

Like, share and retweet BTW if you want them prosecuted for their crimes.

...prosecuted for their crimes.

It'd be nice but unfortunately there's too many batshit republicans in office to pass any laws for that to happen.

Social media politics is confirmation bias by design.

A few of my opinions that are less popular here:

  • Unions are not a perfect solution.
  • landlords are not inherantly bad and it's not a "sit back and cash in" type of job.
  • Bridled Capitalism is a better system than the comunism we've tried so far.

I have no desire to debate any of those here. I talk politics with friends and in person and I try to remain skeptical especially of facts that happen to go my way.
