Fuck the centrists. They gave us Hillary, and she lost, and then they gave us Harris, and she lost. They're chronic losers, they love it, and they'll never change. CNN reports on them like their opinion matters, because CNN is centrist, too. Meh.

CNN is now owned by a right wing nut job. It isn’t even centrist anymore.

When I ask around and look for centrists in real life, I cannot find them. I can't find people who want the climate to collapse slowly, or want ICE reined in, or - and this is the big one - want insurance companies in charge of health care.

We've been fooled. They got everyone to capitulate and vote for things nobody wanted.

My parents. Yes they still watch tv news. Yes they voted against the billionaire tax in California because the democrats told them to.

And don't forget that the reason, the ONLY reason Biden won was because of Covid and Trump's mismanagement of it. Without Covid, Trump would have won reelection in 2020. Centrist dems have been a losing brand for three election cycles at this point.
