And what would you have the left do?

Meet the right in the middle. Again?

So that in 4 years, asking that political prisoners be treated with the slightest amount of human decency is just too damn extreme for the right to take seriously?

Seems like a great way to say “I bought into the right wing populist bullshit, and don’t want to be held accountable for the results we’re now seeing. So I’ll blame the left that the right wing populist bullshiit told me to blame for everything.”

I think it make sense. They’re saying its a bad idea to not hire someone who’s qualified, just because of the color of their skin.
