We should not allow conservatives to get away with calling themselves centrist. "Centrists" are just conservatives who realize conservatives are definitely the bad guys.

In international terms, even the Democrats are right of center.

There's an old Soviet joke about Americans being so decedent that they required two fascist parties.

"International" meaning certain select European countries, ignoring the other shitty European governments of course

Certain Governments may be right of the Democrats but, in comparison to European (and international) parties, the Democrats are right of centre.

Our Overton window is rammed so far right in America Bernie Sanders here is considered a radically dangerous communist, but in any other country he's a slightly left democratic socialist.

It's dangerous to our discourse and continually shifts sentiment further and further right beyond all sanity.

US politics have moved so far to the right that I'm pretty sure contemporary moderate Democrats are nearly interchangeable with Reagan-era Republicans.

That's the first time I've seen that comparison but FUCK are you 100% right...

I hate to admit it but if the repugnicunts had put up a sane pre-reagan quality era candidate, I wouldn't have voted for Biden.

Imo liberals are the real centrists because they understand that capitalism is failing society and the planet, but liberals still try to serve both the donor class and the public despite the fact that the interests of capitalists are diametrically opposed to democracy, society, workers, and the environment.
