The OP is advocating centrist views and is NOT aligned with the radical left like Keith Ellis, or the radical right like the Freedom Caucus. You completely missed his point with your rant.

I know a lot of government and my point is that extreme elements of the left and right are polarizing America and challenging democracy. That is why I believe that Bernie and Trump are peas in a pod on the fringes which is not healthy for our country.

Anyone who argues that Hillary won by popular vote are just ignorant. She won California and New York in which 30 counties gave her 2 million votes... some of which were illegal. It proves our process works by not letting 2 states with sanctuary cities control an entire county. I can’t even believe how dumb some of this country is.

Who is saying this should be a crime?

I criticize milquetoast "moderates" and "centrists" who think they're so much smarter and better than everybody else because they're "above the fray of 'partisan politics.'"

This is retarded.

So, you're saying there is an inherent difference between being black and white? Something people have tried to claim didn't exist for decades?

Hillary won the popular vote - fact, If you eliminate CA and NY because they voted for her, then you need to eliminate Texas, FL, and Ohio which are other populous states that voted for Trump. Trump won. Enjoy. The argument on this post is about the need for more balanced goverenment and political moderation.

I never get a response to this and I only normally ask for 2 or 3.

It's weird.

Yeah, its nonsense. Most people who claim to be centrists or moderates are anything but.

It sounds to me that you are really hung up on racial issues. We all bleed red, my friend.
