    As dumb as it is to claim the left and right are only having minor disagreements, or are equally valid, your comment is not helping because this behavior is exactly what Anteater is referring to.

      And what would you have the left do?

      Meet the right in the middle. Again?

      So that in 4 years, asking that political prisoners be treated with the slightest amount of human decency is just too damn extreme for the right to take seriously?

        No, I would have them work against the right even more than they are now on a macro level, and on a personal level to be firm that certain things are wrong but to not drive away people who are willing to convert.

          we live in an age of information. if someone chooses to wallow in disinformation, that is their choice to remain ignorant. if someone is ‘willing go convert’, they will do it themselves by reading the news and searching for facts.
