Yes - and when HBO does it, others will follow b/c they want to be as woke as HBO or they run the risk of being labeled racists. These extreme leftists are steam rolling your party and when you see Pelosi kowtowing to them you know your party is sinking fast. When I say "your" party I don't mean you, specifically, I'm speaking generally to the democrats. LOL I don't know what side of the fence you play on :p
I’m on the liberal side but I’m not a fan of the Democrat party. Given the state of the Republican Party, I’ll vote Democrat all the way tho.

He has pushed his opponents to the left of where they were and his proponents to the right of where they were. The rift is greater and the middle ground where most of the best things exist has been minimized. And this is only one of the million reasons why he sucks.
I think one of the most annoying things about this general movement is the criticism one gets for not being all the way one side or the other. Like you said the middle is often the best place as you can take things from either side.

And not because there's something inherently good about the middle ground. In Iran for example taking the middle position on most social issues is most likely the wrong position either in service or in fear of the dictatorship but in a country like the US where the structure is relatively fair, rational and nondiscriminatory, if you are to factor in most of the relevant variables you'll automatically end up falling somewhere in the center.

Still the greatest mystery since 2016 :grin:

Context is everything, I consider myself more left in terms of policy but when I say that I mean in reference to Australian politics. Does that mean there aren't some things I agree with that the right suggest, no, but overall more left leaning. Honestly in Australia, for the most part, both major political parties are sort of centre anyway for nearly everything in terms of federal government. States vary a bit more.

To me it's the American version of Raeisi and Tataloo :lol:
But did Tataloo follwers all joined Raeisi cult? You gotta have that to complete the circle like Trump and Evangelical Christians.
They think their way of life is under attack and clinge to anyone who promises them otherwise.

The US seems also the most Twitter affected country as well and Twitter is a cesspool. Having a president that comes off as a twitter troll doesn't help either.
I dunno. I've seen hordes of Hindu, right wing accounts (many of them fake) engage in targeted harassment of journalists, actors and anyone else who is critical of our govt (especially women), and also carry out fake Twitter trends using copy-pasta messages, many of which are coordinated my the IT Cell of our ruling party. Trump seems like a minor nuisance compared to them.

I wasn't aware, but yeah the Twitter verse has so much pull politically and socially it's ridiculous.

In my analogy, Trump is Tataloo though haha. And I meant the stark contrast between the two.
