- a bigot
- a believer in a really shitty god
- or too poorly informed to catch up in the next 18 months 1/

I don’t want candidates trying to find a middle ground. The @GOP has obliterated the middle.

Or let’s follow @JoeBiden into the abyss of middle-groundism. A world where committees stall, good faith efforts are exploited, and bloated, pork-filled compromise bills are gaveled into existence to much back-slapping and no real effect.
