That's not the threat you seem to think it is, Cap. Also, compromise is potentially support. I have tried to offer examples of recent GOP policies to point out that compromise on these issues is wrong-headed. Should we have compromised on health care, kicking millions out of their plans? I'm not trying to attack…

Sorry. We Donald Trumps are annoyingly obtuse.

Okay, so, you disagree with me, right? So why aren't you working for the sort of compromise you were talking about with those of different views, instead of banning me? Could it be because you think I'm wrong? You don't seem to be practicing what you preach.
Also, it is entirely rational to observe the ideology of a…

I can't see how compromise with such a flawed ideology as that which the GOP represents can be viewed as progress.

Some Antifa activists are that weirdly intense breed of hyper-engaged, extremely idealistic liberal who believe they are fighting for the fate of the world. If you get to them early they can be trained to be excellent, peaceful advocates for social change. But a lot of them are angry, violent extremists looking for…

Apparently Clinton REALLY didn't like Sanders. As for single payer, maybe it's time? I'm a big believer in slow, careful change, but wouldn't universal coverage be wonderful?

All people are just people regardless of their background. You can find close-minded individuals in all walks of life, and your patience when confronted with such an extreme position does you credit.

In retrospect? Hell, yes.

There are areas where you are not obliged to compromise, and in fact doing so is an immoral act. The formation of the Union with the inclusion of slavery was an immoral act. Stripping away basic protections to the poor is an immoral act. Removing environmental protections despite abundant evidence indicating dire…

You have no moral obligation to support or even respect a party which engages in voter suppression and thinly veiled attacks on minority rights.

Do you want to compromise on environmental protections for you and your children? Do you want to compromise on the rights of minorities, the treatment of immigrants, workplace safety, the right to a living wage, fair Democratic representation and the separation of church and state? There comes a point where you have…

Views that I hold that were once 'moderate' are now, so I'm told, part of the 'far-Left'. I like and respect many moderates, and expect them to be right there with us, fighting against this new, ugly form the GOP has morphed into.

It's time for new blood on the Left I think… although if Hillary had just chosen Bernie to be her VP, I am absolutely certain she would be president now.

Wait… you don't consider her ill-informed BECAUSE she's a Bernie supporter, right? I mean, that would be the opposite of the argument you made above- dismissing people's views because they are on the other side of the political spectrum.

I refuse to accept any sort of equivalency between the current incarnation of the GOP and Bernie Democrats. The fact that some people are fervent supporters of Bernie does not change the fact that the views that Bernie espouses are part of a rational, desirable ideology based on reason and science. We just saw the…

Does Trump have governing experience? No he does not, so why would anyone expect him to be an effective senior public servant? Does he have a history of articulating reasoned strategies for fighting terrorism? No he does not. Quite the opposite. His views on fighting terror are childishly simplistic or vague to…

Bernie's politics are not extreme. Publicly funded higher education, reduction of domestic spying, corporate accountability, increased wages and support for the poor… all of this is happily embraced by many conservatives in the rest of the world. It is a sign of how far right the goalposts have moved that his views…

No, see, it's not the slavery that's the heritage, so much as the racism, hypocrisy and ignorance that persisted after the ability to enslave others was removed from them by force.

He can't even be bothered to half-heartedly pretend he isn't a bigot, like most of the rest of the GOP.
