    You can’t move right-wingers left

    Exactly. If you have to chose between right wing and centrist , elect the centrist and move them a bit to the left. prepare to do this through multiple elections

    And yet they accomplish nothing

    And yet President Biden is very centrist but has passed some of the most far reaching changes ever on the environment, renewable energy, unionization, etc.

    An example of both is climate change regulation. Legislation passed during Biden’s term should get us about halfway to our net carbon goal. A pessimist may focus on that not being nearly enough, but I see a new center, where we can have more success working on more substantial change

      The Greens are the centrists, if you’ll vote Green I will. How do you plan on moving them left, though? Thoughts and prayers?

      Biden is a right-wing Neoliberal, lmao. He has not passed some of the most “far reaching changes ever” on any of those subjects, that’s an insult to leftists everywhere. He’s a failure on all accounts to meaningfully address those issues.

      “Biden failed to do what was necessary, when other countries have exceeded what was necessary. Here’s why that’s a good thing”

      Lmao
