Reply #51: Goddamn, you love the word "fringe," don't you?

It's like every fourteenth word you type.

Believe me, liberals are not "fringe." What - do you think people on the left are all bomb-making hermits who never leave the house unless to plot revolution at the local puppet theatre? That we have no contact with "normal" people? That we AREN'T normal people?

Listen, bud: we have friends and family. We have jobs, we work hard. We buy things, we pay taxes. We may have (gasp!) ideals, but it's not like we're all living in some Sedona art commune somewhere, rubbing crystals and praying for UFO abductions or some shit - all stereotypes just as much as the sniffily dismissive and elitist epithet "fringe" is.

I resent and reject your framing of a valuable voting bloc and a population that totals in the tens of millions. And I suggest you find another word besides "fringe" to describe American internet users involved in left politics, because there's millions of us. What if the rest of the country started referring to all Maine residents as "fringe?" Something tells me you'd think it was unfair - well there ya go.
