There are plenty of issues with the hard [insert direction]


Why we all need to stop catering to fringe positions - we spend way too much time on that stuff.

60-70% of us will agree on many, many things in principle (I would say including abortion, guns, and immigration positions on those topics needn't be "extreme"). Then we debate the tactics like adults, making compromises where needed.

Unfortunately, that approach and catering to the large middle of this country to address our issues doesn't make for a good campaign ad and doesn't help the grifters or media. If there is money to be made or primary votes to be had - nothing is going to change.

I also happen to think the extreme positions of the hard left right now are child's play compared to the hard right - never saw myself saying that. Wokesters and school names or crazy positions on environmental protection are so, so, so much less dangerous that what we've seen from the MAGA crowd.
