“People on any religious-right are going to like rules and discipline. People on the political left don’t.”

I am on the political left and I love Rules and Discipline, after all I’m an Attorney at Law.

I just spent 4 months chairing the revision of my Democratic Town Committee’s Rules.
I believe in the rule of law and adherence to the law, I believe that bad laws should be changed by working through the system, not by overthrowing the system. I know many members of the political left who have those same attitudes.

There are extreme fringes on the left and right who advocate force and anarchy for social change. The key word is extreme. Please don’t paint the left with such a broad brush.

BTW>>>>I live in Fairfield County, CT where 150K is an ordinary income and loads of people earning many times that supported Sanders. Many wealthy people believe in sharing wealth and paying a fair share of the burden to care for the old, ill and impoverished in this country.
