      How do centrist Democrats (who I agree, are awful) give republiQans free rein to do what they want? That doesn’t make sense. Are we just saying words now?

        If you think centrist Democrats are ever gonna meaningfully oppose Republicans, you shouldn’t be mocking me as being unrealistic.

          I mean, you’d have to define “meaningfully” as you’re using it, but centrist Dems oppose republiQan legislation and political moves all the time. You want vote counts or news articles as proof? Some other kind of proof? You’re just wrong.

            Sure.

                No, just dismissing your evidence-free ridiculous statement with greater attention than it will ever deserve.

                  “evidence free” huh. What evidence would you like? Hey, let’s assume for funsies that you’re actually arguing in good faith and that you don’t believe a centrist democrat “ever” opposes republiQan legislation. Is that what you think is “evidence free”? Because I’ll go get it. Just say the word.

                  WHO is the “centrist Democrat” in question?
