This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The republicans are way more successful in their propaganda. They designate popular people as far left and that is amplified in the media. That doesn't happen on the other side

Being called far left by the RINOs (who now comprise most of the party) is a compliment.

Not for the voters. The effect on most voters is a negative one.

And? I'm talking about it as if when I were called that. RINOs like the Trumpists are so far gone that to them anyone who disagrees with their Trumpist narrow mindset, is a traitor (hey, one of the characteristics of fascism according to Eco!).
