Centrist dems? The Democrats are right wing. The Republicans are far right. There is no left or centre in US politics. If any is centrist, they are considered communist. What Americans consider to be left is still considered right by the rest of the world. The only centrist American politician I know of is Mamdani and the only slightly-left one I know of is Bernie Sanders. But the Democratic party is definitely on the right side of the spectrum.
By only electing for DSA candidates, the party can be pulled leftward.
Unfortunately, I believe the only way we will ever get another fair, uncompromised election is by making extensive use of louisettes.
He's a liberal Zionist though. Always wanting to blame """the Netanyahu government""" instead of the entire disgusting colonial project.
I majorly regret donating a single dollar to him.
Yeah but in the whole shit-pool of fucked up politicians, he's the best you've got. But sadly the whole US is a giant shit-pool with many fucked up people, so the votes still go to the fucked up politicians. So that whole country is completely fucked. The few reasonable and good people there are also fucked, because they live in that shit hole country.
When you elect assholes in office, you get your country all covered in shit.
