It would be a smart move by Democratics. People prefer centrist views over extreme left or right. In Germany, the centrist candidate won.
What's your excuse for being this stupid?
The Dems would have to move left to be less extreme
No. They are already too far left.
You didn't ever say what makes the dems too far left? Is it the lip service to trans people? Spending a lot of money? DEI?
And if any of those are the reasons, you're not only a coward for burying the lede, but you're also extremely wrong about everything lol
For example, immigration. Biden allowed a flood of illegal migrants to enter the country. A centrist view would make it tougher to seek asylum and permit illegal migrants already in the country to stay if they meet certain criteria and apply for a green card.
So you want them to get more extreme?
No, they have to move to the center.
The centre is left of the Dems.
Source? As everything I saw showed him cracking down hard on immigrants just as hard as Trump.
That's a violation of international law... That's very far from centrist.
And Dems would have to move left to reach that.
Remember governor Abbott of Texas of busing illegal migrants to cities outside of Texas. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona would make asylum tougher. From https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gallego-unveils-immigration-plan/ar-AA1EDI4k
It would also place new limitations on asylum — a protection sought by many migrants who claim they are fleeing persecution or danger. Gallego’s plan would raise the standard to obtain asylum protections — which is something also sought by Republicans, who argue the protections should be harder to gain.
I do remember the Republicans accusing Biden of being weak on immigrants, but that doesn't' change the fact that he wasn't. Turns out the Republicans are willing to lie. If we took they're word for it, the Democrats are to the left of Karl Marx and also literally eat babies.
Illegal migrants flooding across the border was no lie. Mayors of cities overwhelmed by migrants were pleading with Biden for help.
Yes it was.
You are delusional and/or politically illiterate
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.
No, between Hitler and the Communist Party.
That's ethnic cleansing, as you know. Hardly a centrist position.
Though it's still less extreme than the current Democratic 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.
