It’s hard to justify centrism in the context of the US, where one party is radically attacking peoples’ rights and re-writing the constitution to support it.
One party?
yup.
Pretty sure both parties are genocidal imperialists.
When Kamala Harris said to prospective illegal immigrants "do not come," when she said she was going to build the world's deadliest military, when she said the exact same shit about Iran as the Republicans, REALLY what she MEANT was "we're the party of rules and norms and we're the bulwark against fascism" obviously
Oh duh, should've realized!
I think the point is that the two parties have both moved right to the point where they have become one right wing party.
I don't think that's really the case.
I think we have one far right party that is willing to break any law and kill any person for power, and we have another party that is secretly willing to let it happen as long as it means they can pretend to be against it to get donor money.
The Democrats of today are the same as the Republicans of my youth. The Republicans of today are the same as the KKK and Neonazis of my youth.
It's really just theater, both uphold the interests of capital.
ok liberal
