(45,251 posts)14. Cannot reply to a hidden post, so I am posting jury results as a reply to the OP.
The Right Teabag element or the Left Teabag element?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=755097
Comparing liberals on the left to teabaggers is oot, we're supposed to be on the same side, not accusing each other of being akin to the tea party.
JURY RESULTS
The review was completed at Sun Nov 1, 2015, 05:38 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Another slam at "far left" policies like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, stopping the permanent war footing, etc.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a dumb comment but not disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Have you seen the Horseshoe Theory? The horseshoe theory in political science asserts that rather than the far left and the far right being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, they in fact closely resemble one another, much like the ends of a horseshoe. The theory is attributed to French writer Jean-Pierre Faye. I happen to agree with this and the poster. The rabid Hillary Haters on this site have the same rabies as Teapartiers. Both are insufferable. However, in the overall scheme of things, Teabaggers are far worse. Hope this is helpful, alerter.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Different people have different views. My own view is that nothing says Republican like lame attempts to shame New Deal Democrats or to characterize them as the "far left," rather than as the traditional Democrats that they so patently are. I get that your results may differ, but, come on.

If you compare other Dems to tea partiers you're too far to the right.

In the end, Sanders will maybe win Vermont. The premise of the OP is incredibly silly.
