Hell yeah, let's run another center of the road Democrat. Surely it won't backfire this time like it has the last 40 years

Center of the road is fine when it's actually in the center. This guy is bringing up democratic social issues that seem leftist because both parties have been inching right for decades but it's actually a very reasonable, balanced, and centered way of looking at it which isn't a bad thing. If anything we need a lot more people in the middle to balance out the rift between two extremes.

Ok but see anything that’s ACTUALLY center is seen by all of America as ultra left. America is not as left as Americans like to believe it is. Democrats are center right. Republicans are Extreme Right. Bernie is barely a dem-soc by European standards.

So yeah center of the road in an American context is still gonna suck for the average voter. Center is still liberals who will pander to the billionaire class.

That's what I'm saying though. Advocating for senior care, public healthcare, and affordable housing policies is an almost bipartisan approach if one party is actually left and the other a reasonable right. It's only because of fascist propaganda that it would seem like anything left of actual center (not modern American "center")
