    No, they're just a lot more vocal. Most of them have been here a long time and are so far to the left that the Democratic party is just now catching up to them.

    Is there such a thing as a moderate anymore? I fall into the democrat crowd for many things and especially climate change, but am a gun owner, mostly for hunting, and can be in the conservative side for some issues. I think republicans have gone further right and democrats further left in more recent times. At least the tea party seems to be going away. It's easy to get caught up in tribal mentality.

    Hopefully any liberal leanings won't dissuade you. It's good to hear how others think even if we don't all agree.

    I believe most people like to think of themselves as reasonable moderates. But they define “moderate” in some radically different ways. What is the moderate position on health care? Or globalization? Or gun control?

    I hear Elizabeth Warren is catching up with Joe Biden in the polls. That should please the dirigisme fans in the audience.

    I've always loved that song:

    Play your didgeridoo, Blue
    Play your didgeridoo
    Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot through, Blue
    Play your didgeridoo
    Altogether now!


    Wait, I think that word doesn't mean what I thought it means.

    I, as usual, will vote for the Communist candidate.

    Mostly because I'd feel best about cleaning up that mess :-)

    I see Hickenlooper is out, reasonableness being the narrow niche market that it is.

    The reasonableness of drinking fracking fluid. Whatever else, might just be good instincts, but noone wanted to go near that guy at least.

    You mean the reasonableness that someone with less than 1% of voters picking him meaning that he had 0% chance of winning and should therefore choose a more realistic goal?

    Even though he has previously said he wasn't interested, maybe running for senate is a better plan for him. Who knows.
