    I assume the title is aimed at that both parties badmouth one another in extreme, cherry-picked and oversimplified ways right?

      The issue is that the US has two right wings parties, with one being quite a bit further right.

      There is no extreme left party in the US.

      There are plenty of people who talk about extreme left ideas, but none of them are elected politicians.

        The bigger issue is that all countries are fairly right wing. They’re all capitalistic and nationalistic, putting them on a crash course for war and suffering. Exploitative systems just can’t work like they used to. It’s too easy for disadvantaged people to cause apocalyptic damage to those that exploit them.

        But there are extremist leftists, and disagreeing with them doesn’t make you a rightist nor a fascist as they so often claim - just like disagreeing with right-wing extremism and trumpism doesn’t make you a tankie/commie/whatever extremist).

        Plenty of left-leaners disagree with the far left and plenty of right-leaners disagree with the far right.

      I think the title is mocking enlightened centrists. I am not sure if you’re implying this and I misunderstood your comment.

      It’s basically the whole platform for one party, but sure.

        They’re all paid by over-rich exploit everyone else as slaves. Give 'em a little credit. They’re not completely racist!
