68. Is it Russian interference in every other country on earth?

Sep 2017

Most Western countries have explicit political spectrums from with a communist party on one end and an ethno-nationalist fascist party on the other with half a dozen or more in-between.

The coalition within approach in the United States has been slowly eroding since the mid-sixties, but we're at the point now that Democrats and Republicans alike are willing to attack the character of legitimacy of their fellow Democrats and Republicans.

That is what terrifies me about 2020, since I am pretty sure our primaries will consist of Booker supporters accusing Gillibrand supporters of being white nationalists, Gillibrand supporters accusing Booker supporters of being misogynists and "Booker Bros" as all the while the leftists accuse both of them of being Mitt Romney.

It is going to be awesome.

If we would just follow the rules about not attacking democrats I think we'd be fine. moda253 Sep 2017 #20

No, that is the problem. LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #42

just start voting to hide. If everyone had every postprimary comment hidden, then it would stop. JoeStuckInOH Sep 2017 #25

That's What I Do Leith Sep 2017 #28

That's you're problem. If it's a post primary squablle... HIDE. No thought given. JoeStuckInOH Sep 2017 #31
