If you frequent social media or watch some shows which pretend to be news you are probably familiar with accusations about (liberals/conservatives) trying to ruin this country. These accusations are generally based on taking a position attributed to some and ascribing it to all.
Both sides have their share of hotheads and crazies, but what they say or do is not the official policy of either party, unless of course it is. We have a lot of media people who like to pretend it is.
Even worse, our primary system allows people with extreme views to become the official party nominee. Unfortunately, too many Americans don't pay enough attention and vote based on name recognition or media exposure.
Even worse is that primary participation is so low and hardly reflects the will of the majority.
More honesty and better representation are the goals and we are not that close.
