This comment is short sighted. As if I, a single person could change the government and slide it left.
Be change you want to see simply doesn't work in a group setting. I can only work with what I have.
And what you have is a lot more than being a generic centrist- which again is really just being right wing.
Spoken like a true extremist, who can only see the world in terms of extremism.
If centrists are right wing, why would we ever vote left? Oh, it's because of our right-wing agenda secretly involves voting left sometimes, just to throw you off-balance!
No, wait - it's because the left can be a bunch of extremist nutbags, just like the right can. They they just think being unrealistic isn't harmful, because they're thinking happy equal good thoughts ++ everybody wins, and that can't be wrong liek evar!
