[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else familiar with the Blue Virginia account/blog?

I signed onto it because I was a typical Democrat and follow local politics - and sometimes it is still a good source of early information.

But overall I find that the account/blog push me further to the center/right simply because the personal attacks on anyone who doesn’t align with BV’s progressive brand are so intense.

I guess it makes me old school, because I always subscribed to the view that you could disagree with people on matters on policy but still respect them as individuals. BV’s scorched-earth approach is to demonize anyone with whom they disagree in strongly personal terms.

I know - no one forces me or anyone else to read it. And I don’t want to overstate the effect it has on my political views, which remain left-of-center nationally. Just curious as to whether others have a similar reaction.  [/quote]

I'm a Dem voter but I'm not going down the path to defund the police, men in girls locker rooms, and late stage capitalism. Where did the moderates go?[/quote]

Normal people, much less mainstream Democrats, don’t know what you mean when you use those phrases so that tells me you consume a lot of right-wing media. And really a Dem voter at all.

The irony is the transgender men you want to force into girls’ locker rooms look like men. And that’s what you’re demanding should happen. So weird. And typical.[/quote]

Are you saying that "normal people" only get their news from one political viewpoint? It is not normal to read/watch reports from both sides of an issue?[/quote]
