The fringe right has a major influence on the national GOP. The Revolutionary Communist Part has zero influence on the Democratic Party.

@TheDemocrats politicians aren't afraid of criticizing fellow Democrats who are antivaccine, while@GOP politicians seem cowed and afraid of criticizing the antivaccine and antiscience cranks in their ranks.0 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -
