This is SOOOOOO tired. 
Pretending moderates are far-leftist doesn't make it true.
They're doing it with Biden now, and it's just as nonsensical. 
The Democratic primary was a 4-person race:  2 moderates and 2 far-leftists.....Biden & Buttigeg were the moderates, Warren and Bernie the lefties.  We all know this.
Yet, no matter who won was to be demonized as a far-left boogeyman.
.
It's so boring.
I was about to say that this is why the trope of Biden just being an electoral figurehead with the "real" power behind him in the shadows became a thing, but...

320 beat me to it.

Glad to see Fro is free to spew his political vomit all over the nonpolitical threads, even though the only reason that we have a political thread is because his hopelessly indoctrinated ass can't help himself.

Fair enough.

Back on topic...

When I was a kid, we didn't worry about political discussions.  

We worried about running out of this, which my mom made in great big pitchers she kept in the fridge:

When someone says "X if lib/con", to me it says more about the person than X.

Folks use different tardsticks on such measurements.  Heh, I mistyped, but it makes sense.

Your average European is a lot more liberal than your average American.  That can combine that with a surprisingly outspoken racism as well.

Last night I watched a you tube video as I fell asleep, and then at 4 in the morning my computer just starts blaring some Geico commercial with Dick Vitale where he dumps an entire Gatorade cooler on his own head at the end.

I was 25 before I took an airplane ride.  Air travel was for the wealthy back in the day, pretty much entirely, maybe upper middle class.  It was something in movies, I probably didn't even know anyone who had been on a plane commercially until I was 10.

I wasn't on a plane or had a credit card until I was out of college and had to take a flight for work.

Rental car place required a credit card

Yeah, my only time on an airplane before flying to job interviews in college was the age of 10. My parents took us to Disneyworld/Epcot and Cocoa Beach. Before and after that, the only vacations my family ever took were by car.

whenever something like that would happen and I would ask the company's tech person about he would look at it and say it was FM

finally one day I asked him what FM was and he said it stands for "Fu*king Magic" and nobody could explain it

I was 26 - it was on People's Airlines(Later Continental).Anyway I'm headed down the corridor of the AirPort i didn't know weather to stop for a belt at the bar or a Prayer at the Chapel.They were right across from each other and then I remember the carrier had boarding passes and not assigned seating so I kept on going to the Gate

My first airplane ride was in 1967 on a Boing 707 from Houston to San Francisco

My family never traveled anywhere by plane, always by car, including multiple weeks-long trips to the deep interior of Mexico. First plane ride I ever had was after my junior year in high school, our marching band flew from Austin to Hawaii.
