re: #221 Obdicut

It’s mostly that the left doesn’t tend to elect its moonbats, whereas the right elects the wingnuts.

And gives them cable TV shows.

This is true.

After the national humiliation of Mondale in 1984, the centrist and conservative Dems made a deliberate effort to marginalize and kick out the loonies and moonbats. You might have the occasional one in elected office somewhere, but by and large the Dems in power are centrists.

OTOH, the right wing has not only openly appealed to its loonies and worked hard to get them elected, but they built AM talk radio around them and gave them an entire news network.
