A centrist Democrat just complained to me that Democratic socialists alienate him with our progressive policies. Cry me a **** river. Blocked.

I have to read headlines about how DSA might cost Democrats a seat. I never read headlines about how centerist democrats cost Democrats seats by blocking progressives. Even though that happens far more frequently.

The centrists are the people in the Democratic Party who love war, court Republican votes, pass surveillance laws, and court monied donors. There's never money for healthcare or humanity, but their donors pay low taxes and use the government as tools to increase their own personal profit. Centrist Democrats are to the right of Republicans in the 1980s. You could also call them Neo liberals.
