    Far left: we’re going to dress in all black and burn buildings down to protest racism of which many of the shops will be locally owned by people of color.

    Far right: we’re going to ravage the civil liberties of every group of people that aren’t white religious old rich people and convince poor white people it’s the patriotic thing to do.

    Centrists: You’re both fucked but one of you is less fucked I guess.

      Which one is that? Because moderates are outright refusing to compromise with leftists and progressives. Seems like they prefer fascists.

        Left is in a pretty clear lead but you won’t find me handing out fliers to spread the word. I’m just watching in paralyzed horror.

          Maybe if you told moderates they need to start compromising with leftists and progressives a few might listen.

            Based on the overwhelmingly negative response to the left being criticized I understand why many Centrists stay center. Going either direction just feels morally compromising. I’ll still vote blue because I’m not insane but still, I’d never call myself Democrat.

              Going either direction just feels morally compromising.

              Supporting unions feels morally compromising? Refusing to send weapons to Israel feels morally compromising? Raising minimum wage feels morally compromising?

              Get real.
