I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    Being “centrist” shouldn’t mean “I support the republicans and democrats equally” it should mean “I can see the value in social and capitalist policies and think there is a middle-ground between them”

    Anybody who claims to be a “centrist” and supports almost anything Trump’s party is doing is not a centrist, they are right wing.

      Capitalist systems are so existentially and catastrophically broken that in order to find a middle ground you have to turn off the rational part of your brain. Centrists cannot handle the implications of this so they consciously or subconsciously thought terminate back to “I support the republicans and democrats equally”.
