They don't have any policies I'm aware of that are near the center currently, or if they do they are not getting much coverage.
They have had some reasonable ideas in the past, in between their mess of right wing policies that pander to conservatives and nut jobs.
This administration is nothing but a dictatorship without the name. I consider myself center. They are absolutely nowhere near it. It's a mile down the road.
You can say that democrats aren't doing anything about this, but what does that even mean?
I think the author is drawing attention to the lack of public discussion by the Democrats over whether Trump will try to manipulate the election results. The lack of public statements regarding preparation for such a matter as well.
The DNC and corporate Democrats would rather have a fascist takeover than empower actual leftwing policies, so I don't think that eventuality really bothers them as much as the possibility of losing control over the power structures of the Democratic party does.
I believe, as I'm sure many of you do, that this is because even though open and fair democracy is at stake here, their wealth is not.
A left wing agenda threatens their wealth. That is clearly the thing they care about most, to the detriment of their electorate.
I think it makes perfect sense for the power structures of the DNC to act like this will be a fair election, the best outcome for them is it won't be and it will thus make the job of leaders in the DNC far easier.
Wow. I consider myself very cynical and but even I never would have thought of it like that. It does make sense though. If they take action now after delaying so long there will be cries of "what took you so long". They need Trump to do something so awful, like abandon democracy completely, that the finger will only ever be pointed at him as the villain.
The US is crying out for competent third party that better represents the electorate. If funding could somehow be secured (massive or even impossible if) then they would surely wipe the floor with the Republicans and Democrats.
By now many people surely feel they are no longer represented by either party.
I consider myself a centerist but it's quite clear that a free and open democracy is at stake. You don't need to want a revolution to see that it's hugely threatened.
I am just as disappointed in the centre Democrats lack of action as I am with Donald Trump. If not more so. Their lack of coordinated and meaningful action to protect America's democracy is criminal.
If free elections are compromised yet again they bare a similar amount of responsibility as the non MAGA Republicans.
No, just ideologically and traditionally.
