Tomato - tomahto am I right?
I'd love to know what extreme positions you think US politicians have enforced and what the moderate position is.
So on this so-called extreme left, what exactly was/is so bad? You are expected to be nice to people when you meet them? You should consider the feelings of other human beings before you act? You had to rename a git branch because most of the people on your team agreed it's kinda lame to use a reference to slavery in a technical term? I've always wondered what people think the "extreme left" is and why they even remotely think it's somehow just as bad as the fascistic bullshit that sadistic, fear-driven socipaths keep working towards.
I hope not towards people that disagree with you or are labeled with an ism since they are monster.
>Extreme acceptance of people from all backgrounds, religious beliefs and sexual orientation?
Does that include Jihadists and child molester/groomer?
>So on this so-called extreme left, what exactly was/is so bad?
That is left as an exercise for the reader if you manage to answer truthfully.
by and large the right-wing administration currently running the white house works with and makes business deals with Islamic Fundamentalist countries and is headed by a child molester [1]. this does not seem to be an issue of "the left", for its many flaws

In both cases there's a few true believers and a lot of opportunists who use the cause as a way to further their own agenda. It happened with the left (the master branch rename being the stupidest example), it's now happening in the right, with big words and performative actions such as ICE raids while the root cause of the problem is not addressed (industries reliant on large-scale illegal immigrant labor are left alone).
The right answer is somewhere in the middle of the two camps. Unfortunately until then people suffer on both sides while opportunists use the conflict for their own interests.
