@edgarblythe,
So true, edgarB. I don't think it bodes well either, as it opens up the possibility of very frustrated far left violent action, which we've been through before, to much national pain, including pain to people like me. That is, if there is any radical left left. And things tend to swing over the years.
As I've said several times, in terms of the rest of the world I'm a middle of the road person, and in the U.S. now, the average considered-moderate Republican would think of me as very left. Actual moderate Republicans seem low on the ground but I am only going by what I read.
The level of the entire field in US politics has skewed far to the right.
