This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I wish you were right but I don’t see how by vermin05

There were so many off ramps provided to the party these last 3 years, they have consistently and relentlessly chosen Trump every single time. Meanwhile Democrats keep presenting moderate bills that piss of their looney base and keep the status quo. I would argue Trump has pushed the democrats to the right such that they are essentially the moderate party today. Meanwhile the GOP keeps pushing more and more into populism. Your silent moral center has stayed far too silent or quit politics all together. When exactly are they going to make themselves known?
