Yes. Thankfully radicalization of Republican party and consequent exodus of moderate and centrist conservatives into Democratic fold put Democrats firmly into centrist position.



Is this some kind of irony you are going for where the literal meaning of what you just said actually means it's exact opposite? What, pray, is centrist about:

progressive tax
abortion on demand
yearly deficits of almost 50%
enormous expansion of the welfare state
amnesty for illegals
gays in the military
gigantic increase in scope and size of all regulation
near total shutdown in development of new energy
massive expansion of government in medical, educational, and financial fields

If you think these things are centrist, please explain what in YOU OPINION would be a radical leftist agenda? Because it appears to me that you are so far to the left that your whole worldview is hopelessly skewed


Centrist? When you look past loaded language - just about everything. One day Conservative movement will wake up and realize that pandering to ultra-right not only does them great disservice, it also not at all representative of US population views.

Here is example you might be able to understand - imagine if PETA and Greenpeace virtually dictated Democratic policy? What do you think would happen to Progressive movement?


Are you able to answer a direct question or not? In answer to your question; both of those groups have values well within the normal range of typical progessives, ie not extreme
