Ibby, rather than wasting my time trying to tread water in the gutter you've been drowning in, I will focus my attention on a very profound observation from the referenced article in post #1.
"The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges."

That's not 'compromise' . . . that's Three Card Monte.
Talk about ignoring the facts and being dismissive of legitimate political opposition: evidence of Dim extremism is most exemplary in the partisan manner by which they bulldozed Odumbocare through Congress: against the wishes of a majority of the citizens.
In regards to science, the Dims are following Gore like lemmings over a cliff ignoring historic-scientific observations and facts that undermine at every point Gore’s contention that man is causing global warming. Plus, the Dims are making world hunger worse by promoting the use of food for fuel while simultaneously hindering the development of untapped fossil fuel reserves that are used to plant, grow, harvest and transport food. Those are some of the facts you Dims choose to ignore, BigTicks.
