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?

Exactly. Moral and spiritual blindness.

And open to arguments about whether the hose and water need to be provided by the government

or. at a burning house and says its almost out or should be soon. The magic of herd immunity

And, what is the problem with yelling? The house is on fire! There is incredible urgency. Who has time to be polite? Scream, and save as many people as possible.

And a corporate funded centrist looks at that burning house & lets it burn down so it’s donors can buy it for pennies on the dollar & gentrify the neighborhood. Yea, they use a tiny hose to “try” to put it out too, for a photo op where they are portrayed as “compassionate”.

At this point centrists look at a burning house and cannot figure out if water or gasoline would fight said fire best.

Someone who thinks it's fine if the garden hose has to be rented at $25 an hour.

I don’t agree. There r those of us who believe change happens at times in increments. Sometimes tidal waves, sometimes small little ones that lead to bigger change. I always felt we’d need a transition Pres aftr Trump, who could begin 2 bridge the tear. Centrist. Then we move fwd
