You think that this kind of thing only happens on the right? You think that the right-wing parties are more wealthy than the left-wing parties? You are trying to confirm the "trump is bad" case. But when it is shown that Clinton i

We would never try to ban any use of language. Its more like advice. We say: "Stop calling everything racist and sexist that is not racist or sexist because you are missing the real underlying issues. We want everyone to be happy just
