    Center will gladly consolidate power with right if it conforms with their interests, they more frequently will make coalition with the right before they ever even communicate with the left Center has and will gladly overlook slavery if it conforms with their interests Center has always been complicit with overlooking genocide if they ‘don’t have skin in the game’ Center is LITERALLY THE REASON why Hitler was elected, the Weimar Republic was vaguely modern center and STILL VOTED HIM IN

      Super important insight. Compromising on something that’s insane with 1/2 insane is not a choice at all, really, and is just plain unacceptable still.

      When I wrote that I was internally mapping center to mainstream Democrats.

      I think you’re putting that more at like Joe Manchin.

      Still… in either case I think you’re out of your mind if you think anyone, except for the very furthest right white nationals, is willing to overlook slavery itself in 2023.

      The comparison of “Center” as an abstract thing you’re tying to Hitler honestly comes off as unhinged.

        Democrats are socially center-left and economically center-right If there is a conflict with a social topic and an economic one, they will USUALLY FAVOR the economic one
