The new party of no?

[Riot]

No you dole out some half baked analysis.

My opinion is no less half baked than your own

Do you or do you not agree that the Democratic party shifting more to the left AND becoming the new party of no with the stated goal of preventing the Democratic President from compromising on issues is a good thing for that party?

I answered all that in my post. Seriously, if you can't understand any political discussion more nuanced than yes or no answers, I don't see the point of you jumping into political discussions.

But if you only do yes or no, how about this?

Do you or do you not agree that the Republican party shifting more to the right AND becoming the party of no (and they've actually done it for 2 years - simply filibustered to block even debate on issues)with the stated public goal of preventing the Democratic President from gaining re-election a good thing for that party?

Do you believe that the Republican party becoming more attached to its radical leaning side is a positive thing?

Yes or no are acceptable answers

No you didnt answer the question. Saying you answered the question when you clearly didnt is another form of avoiding a question.

Then I can only assume you don't have the ability to read.

You cant ask a 2 part question and ask for a yes or no answer.

I dont agree that the GOP has shifted further right the last 2 years, where they are now is about where they have been.
I dont agree that the stated goal of the last 2 years of GOP political tactics were to prevent the reelection of the President.
I don't believe the GOP is becoming more attached to its radical side.

I do believe the GOP is more right than two years ago with the tea party element.

I also think the Dems are shifting more to the left.

There are very few people in the middle anymore.... they place they SHOULD be.

I think that type of polarization is historically a pretty common response after one party has a big White House win. It keeps the average in the middle over time.

I'm in the middle. You just get hit repeatedly with flaming bags of dog shiat from both sides. The concept of "middle" has gerrymandered all over the map. When GOP to the right of me (both fiscal and social conservatives) are called "liberals", it's gone beyond silly. Ronald Reagan would be too left for the GOP nowadays, and Eisenhower would be called a screaming liberal for his social programs!
