6. His coworkers were appalled at calling a peaceful student group a terrorist organization and explained what informs that stance. This is the left attempting to suppress speech that they are too sensitive to deal with under the guise of safety.
7. All of this is bad because the left is smarter than those silly right wingers.
8. Here are two misrepresented scenarios that demonstrate persecution by the left.
9. Rush Limbaugh is an *******.
10. The left has become Rush Limbaugh because some of my coworkers try to talk about politics with me.
11. These are some atrocities that the right has committed.
12. The left is the same as this.
13. Now I'm bummed out because I can't just switch teams all willy-nilly like I used to.

Anything else important to add? This article seems at odds with a lot of what you've posted in this thread, tbh.

What inherently is a "good thing" about no one being excited for Joe Biden? Do you think that running unexciting presidential candidates is a successful strategy for political parties?

I suppose I could see the argument of "if you have little to no expectations, it's hard to be dissappointed", but I don't know how you win a presidential election like that.

Well then your lack of worry is justified. I hope, for your sake, that the parties in your state continue to work amicably together despite the broad national political polarization.

You've made a lot of posts bemoaning those who can't tell the left from the right. You're also right wing which I guess isn't at odds with the article, but it's weird to use yourself as an example of what not to do.

I don't even get what the article in question was meant to be in response to.

Biden’s Notes On Kamala Harris Captured By Photographer

Biden calls for violent protesters to be ‘found, arrested and tried’

Quote:

Biden’s call for the prosecution of violent protesters may further alienate leftist politicians uneasy with Biden’s decades of centrist policies.

This week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said she would not endorse Biden and a co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, likened voting for Biden to eating a “bowl of s–t.”
