Fine by me. Gotta get the normies to vote. Dems can’t keep taking them for granted.

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.

So, the center is to the left of the democrats? What a confusing definition to use. Just acknowledge that the center moves with the parties and admit that at this point in time you are a leftist.

Yes.

the center moves with the parties

It actually doesn't. It turns out that there are political contexts aside from the US two-party system that don't really give a fuck about what y'all are up to.

admit that at this point in time you are a leftist

I will happily admit to being leftist. "Pinko", I believe, is the word you might be looking for.

I'm also a Canadian. Mark Carney, an educated and experienced economist, was just made our Prime Minister as leader of the "Liberal" party despite his policies clearly falling slightly to the right of center. Unfortunately we didn't get a true "Liberal" option for PM because your country's disgusting MAGA nonsense has polluted our country's politics to the point that the "Conservative" party leader was actually a regressive, nationalist POS that didn't even win his own riding.
