All due respect, the thing with any list like this is that there’s no normal distribution for Democrats, so I don’t understand the buckets

There’s 2 options: you’re a status quo Buttigieg/Harris/Biden OR you’re a Bernie/AOC who will push for even dumber shit (which will likely not be passed anyway)

History, tech stuff, SEO/marketing, shitposting, etc. etc.

Same is true for Republicans, unfortunately. 

The polarization is the problem. 

There’s no room for those of us in the middle.

Left wing people are not really different from each other. Those 2 groups are a split they don’t want to admit is real, and when push comes to shove, these groups will 100% support each other without question.

Dems are much more centralized and united to maintain power

Yeah. I suspect that’s because Trump forked the right and the left has more or less united in reaction.

If you think that the left treats Trump like they treated Bush, I don’t know what to tell you.

@derek the left was united against Nixon, Trump, Reagan, Bush, doesn’t matter.

Trump is not unique in the lefts opposition at all. He is unique in his ability to get many types of right wing groups to vote for him, except maybe Reagan

This has been true for years before Trump. It goes to how power is consolidated which has been true on the left since the 40’s. 

Trump is the opposite actually, he’s been the first true focal point to bring in many different right wing groups
