When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said. So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!
-Donald Trump

So true, Obama in 2010 said to Blacks, Stop crying,stop grumbling and get up, Omar is an anti-semite and all of them are American-hating communists!

It's called Democracy.

People being allowed to have an opposing point of view.

It seems that you would prefer a "House" run by fascists.

You lack the intellectual acuity, like thang, to even discuss these subjects (they're)
Stick to finger painting.

america doesn't really have a radical left. They have a moderate left. I mean Sanders' most "radical" ideas would be considered fairly normal in most of the developed world. 

 Omar is an anti-semite
No she isn't. She criticized israel. It is only low information (or extremely biased) people who conflate criticism for a country with hating a religion. 

all of them are American-hating communists
none of them are communists. Either you don't know what communism is, you don't know what they are calling for or, the most likely one, you only watch news that is extremely biased so you honestly believe that they are communist even though they haven't called for any communist policies.

It would seem that the only right wingers who make their voice heard are the lunatic fringe and this is a world wide phenomenon. It's also very dangerous for all earth's life forms.

I think it is more of an issue of the failure of the "center". The people who called themselves the "center" for the last few decades have mostly been corportist sellouts. The middle class has gotten hollowed out while the rich got massively richer. All the main sources of media are owned by people who have a vested interest in maintaining this corrupt system and all the politicians are paid off. They have been able to suppress any kind of real reform to the many problems modern capitalism is creating. 

The natural response is to look for a solution. Since the standard sources of information are all telling the same lies about how great the current system is, people start looking for more extreme answers. This way you get people like Trump or Le Pen in France who pin all your problems on a scape goat. It's easier to point the blame at muslims, or immigrants, or poor people. If you do that you don't have to take a deeper look at the rot and corruption of the entire economic system. 

The solution to these problems is real economic change. This is why people like Bernie Sanders need to win. Otherwise democracy is in real trouble.
