Is anyone else as frustrated as me by how centrist they have become?

According to FOX News this morning it's already happened. The topic and chyron was "Democrat socialists move far left"

FOX is propaganda, you should know that.

The media keeps moving the center rightward until soon the far left will be center right.

You mean leftward?

(Otherwise it doesn't make sense)

Pay no attention.

It's just another fanatic-leftist screed of "Ha ha, I'm more to the left than you, nyaah nyaah, see how cool I am etc."

When the liberals can't win anything, they start spewing these blustering claims.

Dems are aggressively pro-capitalist and pro-imperialism.

That is why they hated the occupy movement and other global left wing movements like the zapatistas.

Uh-huh.

Just like bank robbers are aggressively pro-bank. Where would they be without the banks? That's where they steal all their money!

Same remains true for Democrats and capitalists.

they will continue to move left which will eventually circle around to the right.
the right does it, too. Republicans were the anti-slavery party. Dems were pro.

I hope the Dems don't go any further left during the 2020 election cycle. They need to be in the Center or even Center left, if they want to win the election.
