Where have all the moderates gone?

The people who are screaming "Bern it all down" are mainly entitled young white men who have nothing to lose. Just like a large majority of Trump supporters are young entitled men who watch anime 24/7 and are insanely misogynistic. That's why these two candidates trail by large margins amongst minorities.

I think more Parties would help this greatly, it would cut down on the hyperbolic behavior.
The Power Elite love this, we're at each others throats instead of theirs.

It began about 7 years ago now. The derisive talk from the President every chance he got. Very unprofessional. And he continues today . The great uniter turned out to be the great divider .
Come back Teddy , we miss ya.
At least the true blue Ds do.

Obama has reached across the aisle again and again. The GOP responded by spitting in his face. Remember Mitch McConnell's quote, that they were going to make him a one-term president? They started his Presidency by screaming hysterically about how evil/left wing/divisive he was. They are still doing that even now.
but I also believe in the free market albeit with strong regulations in place to protect the workers and consumers.

Every tribe needs its mythical figures, big striding symbols that can gather together the general mess of humanity into a simple archetype. Lately, Western society has developed a new one: the Bernie Bro. He is a young male whose chief interests are partying, knocking back some brews, hating women, and, for some reason, tepid socialist politics. He supports Bernie Sanders in his race for the Democratic nomination in the US presidential election, because the Bernie Bro does not want Hillary Clinton, a woman, to take power. He demonstrates this support by being crude and abusive to Clinton supporters online, pumped up by male self-righteousness, socialist insensitivity, internet anonymity, and creatine. He is thoughtless, vicious, and stupid. He also doesn't really exist, but that's not really any problem for a myth.
