Wait, what? So wanting a few sensible gun laws in this country and supporting the conservative Heritage foundation authored ACA makes you part of the "fringe" on the left? 

Name me one single "extremist" on the left that has even a speck of influence in the democratic party. You can't because there isn't one. On the other hand the entire republican party has been taken over by far right extremists who embrace fake news, reject observable reality and are disdainful of objective fact. These extremists dominate and drive the entire republican party so don't even think about trying push the "both sides" nonsense. 

The both sides / false equivalency journalism practiced by so many in this country continues to have terrible consequences.
