Right-wingers will dismiss it because it doesn't jive with their extremist view. But this is a very well thought out piece based on empirical data. It also offers some very honest assessment that will surely offend the crazies on the Right.

America Already Has a Centrist Party. It’s Called the Democrats.

They actually became Republican-lite. They lost their way when they tossed their Progressive roots.

If your only source of information about American politics in 2018 were the GOP’s campaign ads, you would think that the Democratic Party was a radical left-wing organization.....,



The author loses all credibility in the very first sentence of that article. The Democrats do the very same thing to Republicans in their own ads. Next topic.

The Democrats are right authoritarian just like the Republicans. Only a little less so. There really isn’t any mainstream representation of the “left” or of libertarianism.

Heck on political compass Clinton scores more to the right than Trump.

When a jackass has blinders on it can’t see to the right or left and will always assume it’s traveling down the middle of the road.

It's nice to see that our leftist fanatics still retain some fraction of a sense of humor. This one is precious.


The Democrat party isn't the center of the big bowl. But it's circling it, at ever-increasing speed.
