      Wrong. Incrementalism on the Left and extremism on the Right moved us from a center-left to a far-right country. We need to start standing up strongly for our beliefs -- that energizes our supporters; moderating enervates them.

      The Pelosi-Biden brand of "not in the face!" Democrats got us here. The Far Right is our model for rescuing the country from the Far Right. Stand strong, let our extremists lead us, never negotiate from your final offer. For every "moderate" we scare off there are a hundred people who know the status quo is killing them and who have dropped out of the whole system who will join us. We just need to show some f-cking backbone. Americans do not support congenital losers and apologists.

      You are not our target. If Democrats are getting your vote we are doing it wrong and losing elections.

        Um, huh? If you're getting *my* vote, you are doing it right.

          So how come the right can elect the Ted cruzes, Steve Kings, and Trumps of the World, but the left has to moderate? Why must the left always be the adult in the room, while the right gets to be petulant children?

          When will moderates like you hold both parties to the same standards?

            Because the MAGAs are idiots who are part of the herd. They blindly follow.

              No. If we're getting your vote then a thousand people are staying home because we've given up doing anything substantive. Your vote is a net 999 loss.

              The Right did not make the country into their reactionary fascist wetdream by going after moderates. They did it by activating every far right theocrat racist misogynist nutjob who previously had no home in either party. They realized that the electroate isn't a normal distribution, it's its inverse. The farther out you go the more you grow because the "center" you are losing does not exist.

              Reagan won because he went far right while Carter drifted towards the center. The old Dems never learned that lesson because they all went to Grad School and believe in an American electorate which balances rational decisions and thus is Gaussian. That America does not exist outside the top educated decile. The electorate is emotional and tribal. The Right feeds theirs. The Dems strangle theirs. That is why we lose.

                I am not far left, though. Extremism is destroying this country, and I will not be a part of that extremism, right or left. I will stand by what I believe is truest to me, while voting the same way (with some variance, since no candidate is perfect), and so be it. I will not be cowed into a corner, as rufus/trix are trying to do by calling me out with their bullsh*.

                  Extreme right? Extreme left? Which is it?

                  Huh, both are saying that same thing. There is no possible middle ground with the extremists. For me, that's ludicrous. Sue me.
                  Your "middle ground" leans so far right it might as well not exist.

                      No. You're "centrist", which in this day and age means you're Barry Goldwater.

                        I believe you, Rube, and I swear I'm not taking a shot at your position, but that comment took me by surprise. People usually insist they won't be cowed into taking the safe, neutral position. Maybe not, but it seems that way.

                          I wonder if he protested this much when the country was being driven to the far right. A true moderate hated that.

                            Right now, my honest opinion, is that if you don't follow the AOC/Bernie, maybe Warren approach, you are a MAGA, and that's not even close to the truth. The uber left, much like the uber right, is basically saying "our way or the highway, period." That's bullsh*. That is what is dividing our country in the first place.

                              *whispers* Reganomics was a "far right" move for the GOP where just a decade earlier even Nixon campaigned for guaranteed minimum incomes as a form of welfare reform. Today, Nixon would be sitting somewhere between Warren and Bernie.
