From this insightful article. Amen brother.
"The argument goes that if Democrats move too far to the left, then they
won’t hold onto 'the center' which presumably contains the majority of
Americans. But this worldview stems from a fundamental misunderstanding
of the electorate, particularly the few remaining persuadable voters in
it. It also represents a failure to grasp the reality of the movement,
which is not so much about right and left, as it is about solving
problems that the centrists in both parties have studiously ignored or avoided. [...] Solving those and many other urgent problems isn’t about left and right. It’s simply about right and wrong. [...] It’s about proving that the Democratic Party will put the priorities of
bartenders and real people who create value in the economy ahead of
those of predatory hedge fund managers and insurance executives."
