And I don't consider it a right wing talking point. Notice how I pointed out that the Republicans have found success with this tactic. But I do believe some members of our party practice this strategy. Usually with varying degrees of success but especially during primary races.

Your post is an example of the tactic in action. Anything you disagree with is a "right wing talking point". Think about how that technique works for a second and get back to me. Essentially you are implying that the other side is so awful, a particular idea deemed heinous in a subjective manner can only have originated from the "other side". This is how moderate voices are shuttered in both parties, because why would someone want to be associated with the other side that is so awful? Being in the center makes you closer to the other side, the awful side .

Thanks
