I've only gone there because I knew some people from here who once posted seemingly sensibly but disappeared down that rabbit hole in 2016 and found a home there.

What they were posting caused me to go read about extremism to understand what happened to them, which has become a growing, serious concern for our nation on both far left and right. It's not just individuals whose tendencies to extremism are being encouraged to take over as they become increasingly become increasingly detached from reality, but whole groups that become more extreme as they react together. For those who recognize names, it's not just somewhat weird but a sad place to visit.

Only Sanders cares and will do something after decades of ranting about it, when Elizabeth has PROVED that she has the research, the remedies, the plans, and the ability to build the infrastructure to implement the policies needed.

Sanders has been cribbing from her hard work for years and has the lesser informed believing he is the answer.
