    Ain’t that the truth. As it stands now, I get called either a Nazi or a Libtard depending on who I’m talking to. It’s frustrating. Both sides will accept mediocrity as long as the other side doesn’t win.

      And that’s why it suits the Democratic Party to tone down the progressive wing and focus on attracting moderates. If Donald breaks his party in two, then we’ll have a repeat of Perot in 96 or Nader in 2000. In both cases there were plenty of votes for the alternative candidate just in a few key districts that would have totally flipped those respective elections had they gone to the first-party candidate more closely aligned with them.
