    I would like to point out for all the libs in the audience, that this includes many/most of you. The article specifically points out Biden. Which would include his supporters. It would also include Hillary and Kamala and their supporters. “Moderates” are centrists who want a strong right wing. “Centrists” are closeted right wingers. Progressives aren’t apart of this but you’re close enough that I bet there’s some overlap.

      In a two-party system like the US, assuming all supporters of a particular candidate share their ideals is folly. There’s a major difference between being someone who actively describes themself as a “moderate” or “centrist” and somebody who just happens to be a voter in a flawed democracy.

        Voting for democrats isn’t going to end the two party system

        The above is still true, but I did specifically say supporters which doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing as voters

      Fearful and stressed people yearn for order and hierarchy. Neoliberalism has fucked the working class around the world opening the door for conservatism and far right politics.

      The free market is not the answer to everything.
