If they're wrong, they're wrong; rebut their arguments to the extent they even have any.

You have this tendency to try so hard to make yourself look fair and impartial in some of these left/right debates that you hold the parties involved to 2 separate standards.
How on earth can you argue the alt right is a fringe group that we should just ignore? That's completely untrue. If the presidential candidate from a major party is retweeting them and espousing at least some of their beliefs I'd argue that the alt right is becoming mainstream. We seem the alt right policies gaining popularity in Europe, so I think your argue fails completely.

What are you talking about? Have you forgotten the veiled (and not so veiled) threats leveled at Clinton leading up to and even at the Republican convention?
You and Peter12 seem to believe you are the moral authorities here, and the rest of us are either foolish or uninformed. You rarely miss an opportunity to make that position clear to the other posters in this thread which is why you rub so many posters the wrong way.
