re: Am I wrong or does it seem like there aren't many moderates left anymore?

Biden is never gonna cancel student loan debt, make college free, or any of that crazy socialist stuff that Bernie and AOC want to do.

Neither was Bernie

ETA: Biden WANTED to do all of that but lacks the political capital to do. The same would have been true for Bernie. Lacking political backing to do something does not change the fact that his administration wants to do it.

All of the stuff he’s doing like shutting down pipelines, killing drilling leases, handing out trillions to people sitting at home, and pushing race politics like CRT is straight from the Bernie playbook.

There’s no way you’re gullible enough to think what this administration is doing in any way resembles ‘moderation’.

Kyrsten Sinema seems to be moderate. Or at the very least keeps her constituents wishes in mind when she votes.

Well I cant speak for Biden but I am from Alabama, and I know most republicans here aren't racist. They are being villified, and that pisses them off, but they aren't racist. It may appear to some people not from here as racism but it's not, it's pride in your heritage, pride in where you're from, it's hard to put a finger on for some, but it's not racism.

Your view is not the narrative being pushed by the Democrat’s.

Anyone that is a white male conservative is now being falsely labeled as a terroristic white supremacist.

Being pissed off at being falsely accused is now considered “extreme.”

Meanwhile, the Marxists have taken over the Democratic Party. BLM is a prime example of that. They are led by self avowed Marxists.

I’m not saying there aren’t extremists on both sides, there are. I’m saying that the percentage of party members that should be deemed extremists are nowhere near equal.

My personal take is that 1 in 10 Republicans may have that label. If it were higher, January 6th would have been legitimately concerning. As is, the hyperbole by the Democrat’s is sad (AOC and her trials and tribulations...in spite of basically not being present, is an example).

I put the Democrat’s at 1 in 3 and growing rapidly. The widespread acceptance of BLM and ANTIFA (you know, equivalent to your gramps storming the beach on D day) suggests that it is closer to half...if not more.

Again, stating that the two groups of extremists are equal in size and scope is a false equivalency imho.

I think capitalism is the best system, and am a big proponent of personal freedom, right to have as many guns as you want, pray to God whenever and wherever you want, I don't think successful people should be punished monetarily for their success.

Yet you voted for Biden.

fricking idiot.

I can see why you think that. Most democrats I know white and black think that burning stuff or rioting in the name of BLM is despicable, it makes the whole movement look bad, a few bad apples can ruin the whole thing, just like January 6th, they were mostly peaceful, and most republicans are great people.

How do you describe what happened on 1-6?

A bunch of peaceful protestors were led into the Capitol by people working for the DNC and FBI.

Eventually a Capitol Police officer panicked and murdered Ashley Babbitt in cold blood.

you get to supply your own definitions and then make a bunch of ignorant conclusions and then call people hacks.

That’s the literal definition, dipshit. You are the one attempting to change the definition to fit your narrative while ignoring groups that can be categorized as a militia based on your new definition that share your political ideology.

I see how this works

No. No, you don’t.

Let's get this over with. How do you describe what happened on 1-6?

A bunch of unarmed boomers made democrats piss themselves in a mostly peaceful protest.

Older Dems, maybe. As for 40 and younger, that has not been my experience at all. Hell, the owner of a local restaurant here in Covington (Del Porto) posted #burn it down.
Her restaurant is still open. Dems even rushed to her defense. No offense but, Dems under 40 seemed to eat up the fact that cities could be torched with virtual impunity (and with tacit approval of the media to boot).

At the end of the day, a LARGE chunk of Dems seem more than okay with BLM, ANTIFA, and their terrorists tactics.
