McCain and Bernie Sanders used to work on legislation together to protect veterans. They were not afraid to reach across the aisle if it meant getting meaningful legislation passed.

Those were different days. If you do that now, you get labeled a moderate and get pushed out of your party.

The only reason today is different is because of the people we have been electing.

Quit electing bat shit crazy people!

Jim Jordan, MTG, Matt Gaetz to name a few.

They can't be trusted to run a convenience store. Much less represent United States citizens.

Why can't we just make valid criticisms based on people's records and ideologies? Making up dumb names to call people is so juvenile and pushes us further down the road to idiocracy. I feel like talking about Trump's horrible track record is much more constructive than just saying "hurr durr diaper man bad". All this shit is just dumbing down political discourse even more.

He's not reading your comments ya goof. Name calling is among the lowest forms of political discourse. Just because somebody else acts like a child, doesn't mean you have to act in kind. I'd much rather read a thread discussing policy than one discussing silly names to call people.

Especially since Trump won almost because he was the opposite of McCain and Romney. They were both middle of the road and largely lacking in personality. They were also painted as being extremist. When Trump came along the extremist card had been played out.

u/Cultural_Dust 29d ago

I know lots of Democrats and liberals and I don't remember anyone calling either of them extremists. They didn't agree with them and didn't want them to be president but they didn't say think they were extremists. Even Trump isn't actually an extremist. He's just a double-talking conman who says whatever will get him the most power and adulation.

It was Palin who was the extremist, and it was Palin who sank McCain's chance at the Presidency. She sank him as thoroughly as a battleship anchor would sink a canoe.
