Casual sex is stupid and risky. You don’t need to have sex. You won’t die without it. So stop sharing your most sacred, intimate moments with people you barely know.

Politics in the U.S. have shifted sooo much to the right that now there are only two competing political spectrums:
The far right drawing bills that would allow kids/ teenagers to work longer hours and perform some currently banned tasks, cutting taxes on the super rich (increasing them on the poor), criminalizing abortion (some states even want to implement the death sentence to women who have abortions), criminalizing trans people (by banning drag shows, or anything that 'sexualizes' children, without of course fobidding beauty competitions in little girls in bikinis), banning any books that talk about racism, trans people or homosexuality from schools, etc. There are people even talking about banning women's rights to vote.
Versus the center right, a.k.a. Democrats which are even more right than the CDU, which is Germany's center right party that widely endorses universal health care and many other social issues that the Democratic party rarely even talks about or would even dream in supporting ("Like why should I pay for other's peoples' wellbeing").
The center left, i.e. Bernie Sanders, is out of the panorama, since it is considered far left even by the Democrats in the U.S. of A. Bernie Sanders is by no means, a socialist. He'd be an average SPD member, which is Germany's current ruling center left party.
While the Evangelical right of the U.S. does not represent the majority, they have so much power, that they managed to succeed in drawing all these antisocial legislations. It's not only a democracy question, but the truly worrying thing is that they can be considered the Western Hemisphere's equivalent of the Taliban.

*points at AOC in the picture* there's one
I don't get people saying, as a fact, that AOC is a centrist.
I think it stems from people conflating "centrist" and "not as far left as I am."
Can/should people be dissatisfied with AOC's success, or lack thereof, in the Congress? Sure.
But looking through the bills she's proposed in the past 2 months, we've got:
Banning the death penalty in all circumstances
Raising taxes on the rich to fund social security (from a press release, the text of the bill isn't digital yet)
Getting rid of agricultural exemptions to the FLSA, increasing rights and protections
Federally codifying contraception rights
Taxes on Wall Street Speculation Trading
Free public college or trade school for everyone who doesn't have a degree at state school
Strengthening child labor laws following Republican bullshit
Shifting charter school structure for public accountability and transparency
Increased support for mental healthcare and suicide prevention
Reinstating the Child Tax Credit, which previously cut the child poverty rate in half
Allowing psychedelics to be used in mental healthcare
Changing the law so the President can't kick out all citizens above 14 if we're at war with "their country."
Allow local communities first rights on any minerals or deposits located on their land, including allowing community-owned companies to operate any mine(s).
Medicare for all
Increasing the size of the Supreme Court
Addressing racial disparities in maternal mortality rates
Increasing freight rail worker rights
Universal school breakfasts and lunches across the country
All in the past 2 months, plus some bills I didn't state. Maybe the "Well in Europe..." could apply, but a number of these are just left-wing, even in Europe.
You can make tactical complaints against her, or you can say that it's all posturing, which I don't find fully persuasive. But if she is posturing, she's saying the right shit and introducing the right bills, including on things that are not things the Democratic Establishment would want her to say, in my view.
I don't think Nancy Pelosi or her family is a fan bills to tax speculation, increase income taxes on the rich, or give land use rights to local/indigenous communities before Wall Street. I really don't think she's in favor of banning congresspeople from owning/trading stocks.

One of the things that piss me off and makes me hate centrist is that it's almost always:
"look yes Biden is helping commit a genocide but the othr guy is worse so stop being a whiny bitch and get the fuck back in line. How dare you question us"
And not.
"look yes Biden is helping commit genocide but thanks to political pressure from the base he is maybe changing how he is handling this he also has done a bunch of good things. See you can influence politics if you stay involved. "
Almost like centrists will take any opportunity to attack the left and try to limit their power and tell them to shut the hell up.

Everyone is always fighting about left wing or right wing. Am I the only one who remembers an eagle needs two wings to fly?

Leftist extremists thinks centrists don’t care about politics. That we are too “privileged” to give a damn. No my sweet child, we do give a damn. Infact we care so much we decided to give both viewpoints a go to decide which one suits the current political climate and our understanding of it. That lead is what lead us to the unavoidable conclusion that while both sides have good points and good people to agree with, the crazy bunch of you is not worth losing braincells over because your stupidity is not something we want to be associated with.
