My beef besides the nutjobs at either extreme is that in reality neither party is that different in their actions. Now sure, if you believe what they say there is a difference but in terms of action....especially on economic issues and foreign policy they're extremely similar.
Honestly, I don't think Tim Kaine is that unreasonable. Had he ran on his own ticket and been able to make it through the gauntlet of far left identity politics, I think he's a Democrat version of John Kasich. I didn't like him in that VP debate because of his constant interrupting, but I think he would be a popular president for the same reason I think Kasich would have been a popular president, in that both of them are actually pretty reasonable. Only the far left or right would relentlessly hate on either of these guys.
I don't know them. I can't comment.
I only hate those who want to put a gun on my head and force me to to pay for their compassion.
Of all the municipal, state, and national democrats, there are plenty of reasonals Dems. If you can't realize that, you're probably part of the fringe and an idiot. Of course, by virture of being on the fringe, whether on the left or right, you are inherently an idiot. I assume that is what you are.
Example: Sly James
I am not leaning either way. I am pro-truth and I hate violence.
Disclaimer: Obvious generalizations follow. Obviously there are exceptions.
Far right-wingers - Not wanting to listen at all to any people who identify left of themselves, and being generally dismissive of all issues that tend to be brought up by left-wingers. Also, way too much spite, in that they too often form stances based not on merit, but whether it'll extract librull tears - even if they know that conservatives wouldn't be much better off.
Far left-wingers - General hysteria and immaturity. They too often resort to insults, name-calling, and making too much noise for the sheer sake of it, rather than backing up their stances with actual facts. Also, perhaps related, is their weird priorities. I'm sorry, but they spend their energy on pushing everyone to accept criminals (illegals), on transgender toilet usage, and on forcing $15/hr minimum wage. And then they wonder why Medicare for all is still just a dream, why the USA is still involved in constant wars, and why we still have to accept special interest corruption as a norm.
Middle of the road is a good place to get run over.
Old claim, I prefer "being balanced is better than being imbalanced".
By the way, almost everyone crosses the road occasionally, depending on what there is to see.

Centrist here. I think the bolded above needs to apply to the far right wingers instead of left. They love to throw out the insults at any opportunity when they don't have a legitimate argument.
I don't think there's any reasonable Democrat though. Please name one if you could.
