To be fair, they aren't in positions of power, but there is extremism on the left, and it's ridiculous. I speak as someone who is definitely left of center. I know there are lunatics to my left.
My point here is that nothing can be accomplished so long as we have extremists like Trump or fake-asses like Hilary at the table. The Obama thing worked so well because he actual is quite moderate, easy to negotiate with, etc. So a few dickholes think he's a Communist. Those are the idiots talking. Overall, he did a good job.
When I say I'm sick of extremists, I don't mean past politics. I mean right now. Extremism in the political discourse in the U.S. has only become a problem for me in the past four years or so. Right now, I'd like a moderate to come in and navigate this bullshit.
Oh, you didn't know? Poor little girl - you clearly don't understand anything. Moderates won't do a damn thing! We need someone that's so fucking far left that we end up somewhere left of center. Shoot for the moon, land among the stars. You didn't know that? Idiot!

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
