To go centrist they need to move to the left ·_·
Lol, somewhere centrist between the old status quo and full-on fascism. Good to see their still supporting their donors.
If this means they’re less conservative, good.
This is the opposite of that. They’re shopping around for a more conservative candidate and calling that “centrist”. They called Obama too left. The guy whose most notable achievement was passing a rebranded Republican healthcare bill (which Republicans still treated like it was the most progressive socialized single payer system ever despite it being just about the polar opposite).
As the article said Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear would be considered centrist.
The article is definitionally incorrect, simple as
By Nazis maybe
Ugh. I was afraid of that.
Republicans are conservative. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is too far to the left. Democrats must move toward the center in order to attract more voters. Note the centrist candidate in Romania just won.
Note that the centrist candidate in the US just ate shit
It seems like your personal views are a lot more right-wing than normal on lemmy.ml. While you may see yourself as a centrist or leftist, that is not the case for others.
You might feel more at home on a different instance, like lemmy.world. Not only would local posts & users be more aligned with your own politics, you could also avoid the stigma/stereotypes associated with this instance. Even if you move to another instance (Lemmy server), you’ll still be able to interact with most other instances, though some defederate from (block) some other instances.
To the contrary, I welcome criticisms my views in order to know whether they are correct or need adjusting. If you belong to a group in which everyone thinks the same, you will learn nothing. It’s called groupthink. From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/groupthink.asp
Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of individuals reaches a consensus without critical reasoning or evaluation of the consequences or alternatives. Groupthink is based on a common desire not to upset the balance of a group of people.
This desire creates a dynamic within a group whereby creativity and individuality tend to be stifled in order to avoid conflict.
It would be a smart move by Democratics. People prefer centrist views over extreme left or right. In Germany, the centrist candidate won.
The Dems would have to move left to be less extreme
No. They are already too far left.
You are delusional and/or politically illiterate
So you want them to get more extreme?
No, they have to move to the center.
The centre is left of the Dems.

Biden let in a flood of illegal migrants. In contrast, Trump closed the border and is deporting all illegal migrants.
Source? As everything I saw showed him cracking down hard on immigrants just as hard as Trump.
A centrist view would be to make it tougher to seek asylum
That’s a violation of international law… That’s very far from centrist.
allow illegal migrants who meet specific criteria to stay in the US and apply to stay.
And Dems would have to move left to reach that.
Palestinian genocide both they and German govt still eagerly support is centrism between what exactly?
This should be the centrist position. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.
So centrist between Hitler and Himmler i guess.
That’s ethnic cleansing, as you know. Hardly a centrist position.
Though it’s still less extreme than the current Democratic position.
Hardly a centrist position.
Looks like run of the mill centrism to me.
Good point. Though ironically it is actually to the left of the current dems.
No, Palestinians would be happy to move to land adjacent to their fellow Palestinians in the West Bank.
