Quote: 

The extreme left has been turned into something that resembles a religious cult.  They live and breathe their party's "values" and crusade against eliminating the thoughts and ideas that oppose them.  Not all, just the extremists (not everyone is rioting in the streets and overbooking their shrinks.)  It's an unholy war against anyone who doesn't assimilate to the D.

This is exactly why I have a hard time understanding their distress. 

 

These people seem to have no reason to exist other than to, as you said, assimilate people to the D. I have a life to live. A husband to love, a house to clean, friends to hang out with, parents to visit, state certification exams to study for. I'm all about believing in a cause or whatever, but to go to extremes is not something I am interested in. I don't know if it's my personality or my age but there is nothing to get that hyped up over. It could be my age and life experiences because the things I used to see as a Big Deal just aren't anymore.
