    Baffled by that 10% who said the democratic party was “too liberal”. In what world is the DNC too liberal?!? They are center right, not even a liberal party. Our farthest left congress people would be center/center left in any other nation.

        AKA, reactionary centrists. You’ll find the world is littered with them.

        I had an acquaintance complain early in 2025 about how he’s fed up with how “both sides are so extreme”. I asked for some examples from the left. He started with the litany about trans and “open borders”.

        I asked for Democratic politicians that are pushing something “too extreme”. No real answer. It’s just about the caricature of what “the left” is to these types or relying on nut-picking that Faux provides to them of activists/influencers from the left. They are just (temporarily) embarrassed by Republicans like Donvict, really, and will probably never vote Democratic.

      Some undecided voters believe MAGA isn’t extreme enough.

      We don’t have a center right. The squad comes closest to center -slightly - right.
