Small excerpt: “LP has become home to those who don’t have qualms about declaring Holocaust-denying racists “fellow travelers” and who don’t think that bigots are necessarily disqualified from the party. They even went out of their way to delete from the party’s platform its nearly 50-year-old language stating: “We condemn bigotry as irrational and repugnant.” The caucus is also reversing the party’s longstanding commitment to open immigration policies in favor of border enforcement. The new chair, Angela McArdle, proclaims that the party will now be dedicated to fighting “wokeism.” People with pronouns in their Twitter bios aren’t welcome anymore, but, evidently, white nationalists and Holocaust deniers are.”
My immediate and limited reaction to having each side leap into just another abyss is that there just has to be a tiny spark, a tiny flame, a tiny light that shows the heart the path “to just do the right thing”. There is no need, no need at all, to cast one’s self into purgatory. There is only one way—-the right way! The Ten Commandments of the Holy Bible provide the basics, Compromise in my view is being half right and half wrong. justsayin’
In order to recognize why this is just another Stanti FALSE EQUIVALENCY, one must first understand that spectrum ranges from one end being people whose thought process includes the election being stolen to, basically the other end being people who want universal health care, something enjoyed by the rest of the Western World. So basically you add a normal liberal expectation, let’s label that a 5 out of 10 and add that 5 to crazy stupid, i.e. 5+crazystupid= error. There you have it………………………………………….right-wing populists?:
I’ve noticed that when I talk to someone of a different political persuasion one-on-one, there is no problem having a good discussion. It’s when people are in a herd that the difficulties set in, fear of being cast out of the group for listening to heretical thoughts.

Stantis, the product of compromise is NOT the bottomless pit that you imply in this cartoon.
.
The bottomless pit is the never ending obstructions of the Republican Party of Trump.
And their never ending LIES.

Stantis can never understand that, he comes from the reich wing and can never comprehend how obstructionist his party is!

Really Stantis? Is this all you got? Really sad compared to what you used to do

Really? What issue has Carmen been “Pro”? Winslow is Con everything, as a r/w reactionary’s idea of a liberal.

Are their shirts switched? Or is that part of the “reach the middle” theme?

Carmen plays Libertarian, right? Here is a good read on today’s Libertarian party, written by a former Libertarian Party (LP) insider:

How about “this as a compromise.” “Okay! I don’t give a whoop about the white meat. All I want is the wings. You can have both legs; and, the rump”.
