How do you rate Kamal Harris' interviews? 10/10? Wouldn't want to come across as a racist and criticize a person of colour. Careful how you answer. You forgot to call me a homophobe for criticizing that smarmy prick Pete Buttigieg too.-and she's right again..you fucking nut. That's literally what political extremism is. The vast majority of people don't think that baby eating lizard men stole the election from God King Trump by using italian space lasers to switch votes in liberal enclaves, and most people would insist that I mollycoddle a racist dipshit like you.
Incredible argument from the Press Secretary once again. Disagree with the majority, and you are an extremist. All atheists are extremists. The people who don't want a peace deal in Ukraine are extremists because only 32 percent of Americans don't want a peace deal. You want to defund the police? Well, the Press Secretary thinks you are an extremist, and you're sitting here white knighting a paid propagandist election denier who calls you an extremist.

"If you are not with where the majority of Americans are, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking," she said.
I'm fine with it, been this way since a I was a kid. You're still struggling with your own indoctrination, one assumes, on account of it being recent and currently ongoing. As I've told you many times by now, even when I was still in the culture I couldn't stand aggrieved sub-whites like yourself. If the obviously unqualified black skin keeps taking your yobs... that's probably a you problem. Go get an education, build a career, stack up some achievements. Like she did.
Quote:Extremism is "the quality or state of being extreme" or "the advocacy of extreme measures or views".[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremism
The term is primarily used in a political or religious sense to refer to an ideology that is considered (by the speaker or by some implied shared social consensus) to be far outside the mainstream attitudes of society.
Couldn't rate the vps interviews for you, don't watch them, don't care. Didn't watch that press conference either, because I don't care. I did watch you embarrass yourself and whoever you came from in the only way you seem to know how anymore. Still watching that. Like I said, car crash, can't look away. Pete? Yeah, he comes across as smarmy alot whenever I've seen him talk. So? I'd be surprised if any mckinsey man didn't when they start waxing on about the middle class and how much they care. I imagine they've got an internal script they remind themselves to follow when the say whatever it is they've been asked to deliver. Smile..turn head left and right, make joke, seem human, mention kid....etc etc etc.
Way to completely ignore the context here, Nudge. You and I both know that when government starts throwing out the terms extremism or extreme, they mean more than just the literal definition of the word. They mean that being extreme makes you a bad person and a threat to society. That is almost always the context government uses these terms in, and I like how you're sitting here pretending that this is not the case. The Press Secretary had a gimme and an easy argument to make. The anti-abortion people are a problem because they want to take away the rights of women. How hard of an argument is that to make? Instead, she makes the argument that anyone who thinks outside of the norm is an extreme and bad person, which is pretty much the worst possible argument she could have made in that situation. We, as a society, don't leave things up to the will of the majority. That's how righteous but unpopular policies get squashed. Many of the social stances that we care about, were once minority positions in terms of public support, or still are.
