    That’s also falling for scapegoats. The call is coming from inside the house, and it has been for over three decades.

    The center is apathetic and hostile to the left because they’re not the left. They’re not courting leftwingers because they don’t want them. They keep reaching across the isle because they fundamentally agree with their basic beliefs. It’s why Sorkin dreams about President Mitt Romney (D). The grand Neoliberal turn is disintegrating, and is being besieged by MAGA from the right and progressives from the left, and both the dems and the GOP are consistently moving right because while they find MAGA brutish and uncouth, they’re appeasable, whereas the demands from the left are fundamentally unacceptable to them.

      Oh sure. Just wishful thinking and using the same garbage excuse that I hear whenever a neoliberal doesn’t like what a leftist says and calls them a Russian shill.

      That’s really the most obvious sign they are republicans of the past. They keep trying to use a red scare to ignore bases they don’t like.
