The extreme right wing has grown more acceptable with the likes of ann coulter, rush, hannity, bill-o, crazy alex, etc.
That's not to say that extremism on the left doesn't exist, and I don't defend or condone those that hijack the BLM movement to use violence.
But to not acknowledge the equally - and in some cases more violent - extreme right wing is doing a disservice to everyone.
The proof is in the pudding.
Look at the protest, look at the media, award programs, universities....
That is punching opposition in their face.
So? What's your point? Are you saying that it's wrong to oppose something you don't believe in? It's a sad fact for the bubs that the country is left of center.It solves nothing but sows discontent,
anger, and dissension.
No, it changes the society. (see women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, etc.)Do you see the same amount on the right?
Yes - look at the tweety rallies - how many has he had now??Do you see the same campus bias?
No - but ask yourself - why aren't there more conservative campuses??Is tony Perez words empty of hate, and constructive?
You cite commentators, he instructs the party from a leadership role, that is the same to you?
You mean tom perez? He's the democratic establishment's firebrand. He's not inciting violence. He's promoting dissent against tweety. Something that should be done. Something that will be done. I see nothing wrong with that.
Did you question the republican side when they blatantly said that their job was to make Obama a one term president? how is that any different? Did you see the rallies after Obama was elected - same question.
I have repeatedly said I am not a Trump fan, but look at the all the differing of opinions and ideas within the administration and party....
It's reported as negitive and a slam at unity of ideas.
I see it as a good thing, I do not like rubber stamps.
I don't like rubber stampers either, but seriously, how can you see any good within the current administration? Just look at AHCA as but one example.Look at the closed mindedness of the left. Take that candidate who was endorsed, but later scorned, for he differed on some of the rubber stamp, toe the line, abortion platform of the party....
That is sway, rather you agree or not, [/quote]
Just as you are not a tweety supporter, I am not a democratic establishment voter. However, the abortion - or rather the woman's right to choose - is (for better or worse) a foundational part of a liberal/progressive platform.
