Centrists? In most of the world they’d be considered strongly right-leaning.

That’s actually true in the US too by those not deluded, stupid, faithful or combination of all three. Problem is those people constitute 80-95% of the population because our education is purposefully shit tier

That’s not at all what I said, I said that most people in the US think the DNC is on the left, even though they objectively ain’t, I didn’t say anything about what most people considered themselves

Luckily, they will all vote blue no matter who, I'm sure. They'll suck it up, ane fall in line and vote blue no matter who. Just like they did with Mandami. Remember when it took until after voting began for Hakeem Jeffries, DNC leader, to endorse Mandami over serial sex offender, sore loser, centrist Cuomo?

"right", "left", and "center" are arbitrary points. They aren't defined by Democrats, Republicans, or International politics. That's why I prefer terms like "conservative", "leftist", "reactionary", "fascist", etc. Those are actual ideologies without arbitrary boundaries. Otherwise, you're bound by the Overton window, which is always changing. The "centrist" Democrats are mostly conservative, unlike Republicans, who are mostly fascist.
