Pretending that your position is the center, and everyone who disagrees with you is an extremist doesnt work very well. The right doesnt oppose clean air, it opposes giving Al Gore's carbon credit company a blank check. The right (in the US) could just as easily ask why has boarder security become a left right issue.

  Bill Clinton was tougher on immigration than Donald Trump is. The Left made it a partisan issue, not the right. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RzlviQH4FhQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RzlviQH4FhQ https://www.fairus.org/issue/legal-immigration/us-commission-immigration-reform https://www.fairus.org/issue/legal-immigration/us-commission... The bipartisan Jordan Commission recommended cutting legal immigration in half and punishing employers for hirin illegals. The democrats made this a partisan issue.

  Weak response. The left contains many poor and uneducated citizens and many of them minorities. Comments like the one above shows we have a lot of work to do. Treating those citizens as second class does not valid your point.

    His point was not about left being more educated on average, but more of about ideology and propaganda (both sides have propaganda) being explicitly opposed to science and education. Plenty of people who argue against those are educated themselves. You may disagree with that point, but it is not the same point as judging average education of this or that voter.
