I'm not a centrist. I just don't think it's a well thought out plan or

Tactic to make the democratic party seem like they are just as bad as republicans and making people think they are a bunch of corrupt politicians. I am tired of the false equivalencies in this vein from the left, the right, and the media.

I actually think that makes things worse for democrats and my lefty viewpoints. And makes so there is little to no progress.

So there is that. Would be nice if people would recognize that. You know???

and then in the real world there's the Democratic Party made up of actual humans. When people spend all their time battling a fictional party and seeing enemies everywhere, I don't know, seems like not only a waste of time but bad for everybody.
