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).
Ugh. I was afraid of that.
As the article said Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear would be considered centrist.
The article is definitionally incorrect, simple as
By Nazis maybe
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
In the 2024 presidential election, there was no centrist candidate. Trump was to the right and Harris to the left.
Lol no. Harris was to the right and Trump was to the far right.
No. Harris said that she wouldn't change anything that Biden did. So, her views were identical to Biden's.
Yes, and Biden was right wing
If Biden who permitted a flood of illegal migrants is right wing, what is Trump?
Well, for one thing, Biden didn't actually do that, as you've been shown multiple times. For another, Trump is far right.
Remember, Governor Abbot of Texas was busing illegal migrants to sanctuary cities because there were so many. If an open border policy is to the right, what would be a leftist policy?
The Republican and Democrat parties are both conservative these days, leaving people who aren't conservative with no representation. It makes more sense to me for each party to offer a clear alternative, instead of both supporting the same policies to attract the same voters and leaving everyone who doesn't agree with those policies disenfranchised.
No, Democrats are liberal and Republicans conservative. Take immigration. Biden let in a flood of illegal migrants. In contrast, Trump has closed the southern border and is deporting all illegal migrants in the US. The US needs a centrist candidate.
