Had to look up Dave Rubin , didn ' t know the name . Looks like he ' s a comedian and talk show host . Not an actual politician . There is a problem on the left . As you said , the regressive left , which is also called the CtrlLeft . The left seems to refuse to deal with this problem . And , doubledown on backing it , and all of it ' s identity politics crap whenever it ' s opposed . The problem on the right has taken a couple of forms , under different names , The Tea Party , The AltRight , The Conservative Christians , etc . They , more often than not , are single issue voters . they vote antiabortion , antigay marriage , and progun politicians . There is usually a xenophobic undertone as well . The right usually ignores calls to tone down this aspect of their party as well . And , now , the worst of the right , NeoNazis , have been given a strong voice for the first time since they were Democrats in the pre 1960 ' s . The core element of both parties need to shed these extremist views groups or we ' re just going to get more extreme versions of extreme every cycle until the whole thing implodes .
