You are basically saying that everyone that does not agree with you or your side is not only wrong, but you are making them out as some caricature that turns out to be less than a human being. All while complaining that these people aren't mindful of others' perspectives and cultures and accusing them of hateful language and hypocrisy.
I think you need to take a step back and take a deep breath. People aren't all so one dimensional that everyone should be viewed in an us vs. them mentality, simply for not agreeing with your political views. When people notice your conduct, can you really blame them for not wanting to associate with either party?
The US may need to encourage more viable parties in their elections in order to curb the animosity between citizens and to promote more alternatives.
No, one of them is on the right side of history while the other one is literally comic villain level of pure evil.
But I won't say which one is which.
Yeah, pretty much. The "left" establishment is right wing. The GOP are right wing. The only leftists are the Justice Democrats like AOC, Gabbard, Sanders. AND in most the developed world, they would be considered center-left.
If you use the alt-right/"woke" independent brand of extreme reduction; then yes, both sides are the same.

I was gonna answer the topic title seriously but the further I read into the opening post the more I realised how weak of a troll it is.
Thanks for saving me the time and effort, at least.
why did you really make this thread OP?

r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
i will never forgive you for this blizzard.
Just to clarify a few things you seem to be confused on:
- The left and right both have their extremists. There however, is no such thing as "the alt-left".
- Fox News and CNN are not even remotely similar when it comes to "fake news", unless you also consider 9 and 3 on a scale of 10 to be the same thing on the basis of them both being numbers.
- Finally, the idea that "centrists" say a thing is rather stupid, considering that if you actually looked at the current American Political Spectrum, the GOP is well off in Right field, and the Democrats (who most people constantly refer to as "the left") are actually usually sitting so close to the centre line they might as well be straddling it. Other than a few hard core True Leftists, you don't really actually HAVE a Left party, you just have a Very Right Wing one and a Mostly in the Centre with some left leanings one.
Who would you rather have to deal with? Nazi skinheads, white supremacists, survivalists, militia's or Antifa, social justice warriors, and BLM?
I will say this.
There are policies on the right I support, and policies on the left I support. I vote on issues and politicians who represent my values. The difference here being that the Left wing activists will yell in my face, throw shit at me, and call me a gender/race traitor (I'm half Native American and half Irish female) While right wing activists will sit down and ask me to have a beer with them.
I vote with who will represent things I want for the country, aka Lowering Pollution, Protecting Free Speech, etc
No one side represents the values I hold dear so I vote based on who is closest to those values. Sometimes its a Democrat, sometimes its a Republican.
I shared my views on twitter and seriously a few left wing extremists told me that they hoped I get raped and left for dead for exposing such HEINOUS opinions that maybe instead of basing Affirmative action based on Skin color to instead base it upon Class and income. The poor and disenfranchised are who we should be helping to get back on their feet.
But despite all the shit I gotten over the years, I am still mostly left wing on my views on things. I just happen to hold some conservative views as well. I am not 100% in 1 camp or the other, but apparently that makes me a terrible person.
The far left has lots of violent murderers in America, mostly in urban centers like Chicago. These areas eternally vote democrat and see massive crime waves and extremely high homicide rates. Admittedly, the press rarely reports on the 1000 people shot and killed annually in Chicago, so you'd be excused for not even thinking of it. But these groups are hardcore democrats.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
I can be bought and sold, i will vote for the party that will give me universal healthcare and then once that is done i will go down the list of my priorities. Its that simple really.
In the Soviet Union, the Lenin / Stalin types promised food, shelter and a better life to all if they adopted communism. Once they took power, the first thing they did was a series of purges. Anyone who joined the communist party out of opportunism was killed or sent to a labor camp. Anyone who joined but didn't adopt 100% of the party platform was killed or sent to a labor camp. They had taken control and the next step was purity control.
Had you lived in those times, you would have supported the revolution and then once it was successful, you'd have probably been taken back out behind the garage and shot in the head.
When you experience people on the left attacking you for not being 100% true to party, that is where it is coming from.

yes and no.
they're the same in that they want power, and do dirty shit to get it.
ideologically, they're different.
both sides have good and bad things. i wish we could take all the good from both parties, get rid of all the bad, and mesh them together.

Or maybe there are assholes on both sides and people are far to complex to just be put into one group or the other. Maybe it has nothing to do with the "left" or "right" and having extremist views in anything is bad. Maybe we stop with all this "Us, not them. Them, not us." finger pointing and try to actually solve problems.
