    The problem is those “Centrists” are the mainstream Democratic party. There is no left-wing in national politics. The left has no one to vote for.

      Representative democracy is a lie, but if they let you vote you can still use that vote to help choose your adversary. Better a genocidal ‘centrist’ than a genocidal fascist, at least until the left is strong enough that they could take the right in a fight credibly enough for the ‘centrists’ to pick the left.

        This idea is exactly why no real leftists voted for Democrats recently. If they’re both genocidal, IDGAF about the rest of their label. There are no genocidal centrists. Genocide is always a fascistic action. Getting rid of “the other”. Democrats, by supporting genocide, declared themselves as right-wingers and extremists.

        Wise take. We live in this world, we have to make the better choice, even if it’s still a bad one. Maybe later you can move from genocidal ‘centrist’ to a non genocidal one, but this is a full on accelerated descent into amorality, hatred and love of ignorance for the US.
