Here is Robert Reich's description of how far right 'centrists' have gone. So when billionaires want #CNN and #MSNBC to be in the 'center', it really is far right. #NoLabels is far right. robertreich.substack.com/p/big

@timo21

More proof this dude is clueless... The only thing he has going for him is he panders to what people want to hear, rather than being right.

More extremism, yay! Yes lets demonize people who actually consider all sides to a discussion and draw educated decisions, cant have that.

@timo21

Sorry should have been clear, the clueless person was Robert, not you. While I dont agree with many of your views I would never be so rude to a person to their face over a disagreement. Robert I dont mind since he is not here and certainly wont be. Plus he is actually exploiting people while you are not.

@freemo I knew what you meant. Thanks for the clarification anyway.

@timo21 No problem, I think you are well intentioned so I have no personal issue with you. Reich not so much.

@freemo The reason I posted this particular article by Reich is it matches my personal experience. And it shows how moderates and centrists are not the same. I used to live in an area where John Birchers had daily columns in the local newspaper, but at that time I never imagined they would take over the Republican party. The political right now is very very far right, while the far left has stagnated. So Reich is correct on how the distance between the wings is very wide.
