What happened to the moderates?

[Harry Dresden]

Not often I agree with "Paint" but on this point I do. "Bad choice versus even worse choice". 350 million people, give or take a few, and we are told todays candidates are the best this nation has to offer. If no one wants the job why even have an election? Will I vote? Of course, so that I can find out if I am wrong or wronger! Then again, at 76 years of age in 2016, maybe not.

My advce is to vote for the a-holes that gave us 9/11 thru sheer incompetence, a World Depression, the stupidest wars ever, and 5 years of idiotic disfunction. Not to mention the biggest lying hateful divisive propaganda machine ever.

are any wars not stupid Frankie?....

OP-Dems are the moderates. In the world political spectrum, they are pragmatic centrists, while the New bsGOP has fallen off their flat Earth. An intelligent health system is not communist dictatorship lol.

I always enjoy a good laugh.

Thanks.

Right, and John Boehner was a communist. Oh, wait...some of you guys actually believe that.

Moderates are generally people that care about maintaining things that make life good....Like our infrastructure, warning for severe storms, their childs education and the police...A moderate is a logical person... A extremist does things that go outside of that logical environment. Oh'''like defund our infrastructure and want to abolish the safetynet.

To the left I see crazy control freak utopian socialists. To the right I see crazy control freak theocrats. What happened to the moderates? When will we take back our society from the crazies?

As soon as we roundfile all you self-proclaimed "moderates".

Moderates and independents vastly outnumber extremist rightwankers like you and your ilk.

I was speaking solely of "self-proclaimed moderates", like you Democrats.

Most of that debt was caused by 14 years of war and nation building and tax cuts for the wealthy...It cost greatly...War always does. Must be nice not to have to put the bill on the budget.

Oh'those employees being paid shit by corporations making record profit. Whatever...

Who can't get fired?? lol

Most moderates I know don't make it a habit of attacking those who don't agree with them.

You don't fit in the class.

Meet for yourself a British politician regarded as somewhat leftist but who, were he to move to America, would be far too conservative to become a full-blown Democrat Party Adherent:

I can only assume you are using hyperbole for effect.

Or you have no idea what happens outside of these borders.

Who exactly do you think is a crazy control freak utopian socialist, Bernie?

Bernie is a moderate social democrat, Obama and Hillary are moderate rightwingers.

What would be a moderate in your eyes?

Bingo.

Today's partisans not only impede progress with their narcissism, they also increase the toxicity of the environment with their behaviors.

The country would be far better off if these people would find another hobby.

Moderates don't take statements out of context and run with lies.
