Thank you, not only for being a voice of reason, but also for making the point that many, many Americans feel that they are not represented by either parties. It is amazing to see how media misrepresents journalists or even regular Americans who don’t have ideological allegiances! When a very Leftist journalist becomes the head of whatever outlet, they are being presented to the public through their professional accomplishments. When and independent (or center-Right) journalist does the same, the media is falling over themselves to talk about their political “outspokenness”, immediately qualified as “controversial”. The double standard should tell us everything.
It's my pleasure. I fall into this category as a rather independent person who has voted for both parties in my lifetime. Truth be told that I would vote for a Democrat who was rational and actively fought against the communists in the party but those people don't exist anymore (maybe on a very local level).
You're absolutely right that there are double standards.
