As though the other team has viewpoints that are equally valid. Currently in America we are in a very unusual position: we liberals are not defending opinions or policy proposals right now, for the most part. We are defending rights.

We
do have preliminary polling data for the race in 2016. Yes, it’s only 2013, but
the numbers are a good place to start because most of the potential candidates
