What is a centrist at this point if not someone looking at a burning house and thinking that a garden hose might do the job?

It depends on how you define Centrist. I'll take a Centrist Biden administration that was electable and brings in some of the best Technocrats in the nation to work on our problems, and gives the Left a seat at the table - over an unelectable Leftist at the national level.

Bernie was totally electable, if that's who you're talking about.

This is extremely accurate- they will think about the hose and call it progress that they thought about it - they won’t pick up the hose and attempt to put out the fire or call for help

Why did you help the centrists crush Bernie's epic monumental movement and campaign by running against him to split the progressive vote? What were you thinking? Why did you do that to Bernie and all of us?

If we were all Centrist, there would be many hoses.

The failed two-party system has one key focus: donor & self enrichment.

When the moment calls for change, a centrist is a hurdle in the path of progress. That's why they get noticed. Otherwise, they are just very boring people, with no ideas and no commitment.
