Also super neat that the non-radical right is just the Democratic leadership and the dead-fucking center get called the radical left and the actually slightly left are the Red Menace.
i feel like the "Center" is more center right than not.
Sort of a tangent, but yeah. That checks out.
Though, if you're looking for someone to blame, look no further than liberals and leftists.
Liberals, because in the 90s their big plan was to become indistinguishable from republicans. Well, in a two party system the two choices have to be different in some way shape of form, and the Clintonistas really only gave the GOP one direction to move. They KNEW this would happen and assumed it meant the GOP would become unelectable (see: Clinton 2016 campaign) instead of systematically destroying the USA. WHOOPS!
The left because we pre-compromising and always presenting the reasonable option first which leaves no room for negotiation other than to veer away from reasonable. If one side of the table is saying "tax the rich fairly" and the others is saying "hunt the poor for sport", the outcome is going to be somewhere in the middle.
Same mistake twice, really.
It sounds like you think the Left has a giant majority.
Mamdani ran as a 'democratic socialist' and barely got 51% of the vote in the Bluest city in america. He was running against a scandal ridden Centrist and a Mid-Right shock jock.
Harris got 65% of the vote. Mamdani did worse in both actual numbers of votes and percentages.
based on?
