I am not citizen of US so I kinda don't know these things a lot, but isn't that kinda bad mentality to have? I mean the more I have seen people act and react these days it feels like both sides are so obsessed with seeing each other as pure evil. I mean I do think that there is lot of bad people in right, but I also see a lot of bad people in left too.
I am mostly trying to say that shouldn't people be voting for people that actually aren't completely single minded and kinda try to understand both parties ideas? Not the crazy hyperbole ones, but instead of more neutral ones? I am worried that if this mind set continues from both sides that it will cause the ideology that there is only one single right way? Kinda like that if you go too far left you start ending up right? I mean I have already seen that extreme liberal, feminist and diverse views have started to actually create accidental "racism and misogynism".

I understand your attempt to find the middle ground, which in a sane society would be the place the voters should gravitate toward, but these are not sane times.
When looked at by European pundits, our "Right Wing" party is "Extreme Right Wing" while our "Left Wing" party is "Center, leaning Right." The candidate who is considered in the US to be "Far Left," Bernie Sanders, is looked at as "Moderate Left" by the EU standards.
The GOP is counting on "bothsiderism" to generate voter apathy so they can maintain power for their shrinking minority: Old Rich White Racists.

That is true, I mean what I have understood that Bernie Sanders is one of those really good candidates, but I feel like that the problem is that some people in left seem to think that the best way to go is to vote the person who is part of some minority, you can correct me if I am wrong about that, it just has left me that kinda feeling. I mean I understand people hate capitalism, but socialism can be dangerous too, there always needs to be middle road with these things.
I think that no matter what, politics never change, they will stay ugly and disgusting endless fight with both sides having the loud minorities that cause more harm to their sides than good.

Exactly, and what Sanders AND Warren are both promoting, "Democratic Socialism" and "Regulated Capitalism" are the same thing wearing different hats. Both are harking back to FDR's policies.
Right now, the true "middle road" is what is being described in the US as "Far Left." I used to have that "both sides do it" attitude, but as I got older, I started really noticing just how full of Hate the GOP politicians are, and in the past few years, saw how debased their base really is. So as long as the Republicans are anti-minorities, anti-women, and anti-poor-people, they will never get my support.
I think I'm just going to speak my mind here: the GOP needs to die, it needs to die and be shattered into a thousand little factions. That way, the factions can reform into a proper Conservative party, leaving out all the racists, sexists, and other Haters to form their OWN party and find out how small a minority they really are.

Indeed. Robert Mueller laid it bare that the President could still be charged with crimes after he is out of office.
I just hope that new revelations come out about this whole debacle (be it subpoena from the House or in a Book) so people can shove it in the face of Republicans and demand answers.
Speaking of Republicans, I'm more than convinced at this point that most of them aren't fearful of the base or are being blackmailed, but rather they've been waiting for a man like Donald Trump to be elected for their true colors to show. Any kind of pious outrage at him before the election was just faux pas BS to make themselves look good.
The only Republican I can actually respect at this point, despite other reasons, is Senator Mitt Romney, the one and only Republican who laid bare his reasons for voting to convict Donald Trump of Abuse of Power, making him the first (and so far the only) person to officially vote AGAINST a President of his own party.
