    Ah the enlightened centrist take that has been leading to loss after loss in campaigns. It’s almost like no one actually likes people who fence sit and stand for nothing.

      This is true. Centrists are like “we need to.move right to win the election” and then don’t win the election. Then they blame the left, who don’t have power nor were appealed to

      I’m in no way saying we need to take a moderate/centrist approach. I am saying this is a moment when Republicans are vulnerable, and all this community wants to do is bag on the Democratic Party. That is how we always lose.

        Well the Republicans are currently doing whatever they want because the Democratic party has been so utterly worthless for so long.

        They can’t fight against fascism in an election and barrel to the right. They can’t fight fascism when they’ve lost and the fascists are in power.

        The Dems deserve every ounce of vitriol they are getting right now they are a fundamentally useless organization that only serves as the slightly less mean wing of conservative thought in the US.

        Edit: Also yes you are absolutely advocating for the moderate/centrist liberal approach here.
