MODERATORS
Moderate? Marty Dolan is a full-blown conservative. Why do we keep pretending like being a Democrat means you can't be a conservative? The DNCs entire top brass is conservative. It's a conservative party by objective international standards.
Because the Overton window in the United States has many people viewing fascists as friends and anyone further left than center right as "extreme left wing socialist communist Nazi terrorists".
I hate it when ignorant people conflate Nazis and communists. I have argued with so many dumb people who think that the Nazis were a Socialist party, when the exact opposite is true. These people probably think that the DPRK is democratic, too.
Well if'n it weren't properly a democracy how comes that 'ere Kim fella put it in the name, huh?
It'd be like thinking the Democrats and Republicans are arguing about whether America should he a direct or representative democracy.
That's why they call em moderates. No need for the media to do it as well.
