I have to say that the term “centrism” is really nothing more than a euphemism for someone who compromises their principles and those of their voters. Voters can’t get excited for someone like that, and why would they? Voters want someone with a spine, someone who won’t compromise. Pay attention to Grant’s rant about all the great centrists throughout history. His point is that there are none. A “centrist” stance aids your enemy, and centrism as a Democratic strategy will ensure that Donald Trump handily wins a second term. And due to this “centrism or nothing” strategy, the Democratic party is going to throw away their chance to nominate Tulsi Gabbard, the greatest Democratic candidate in my lifetime and no centrist at all but a person of principle. The party would prefer to lose to Donald Trump than elect a candidate that they can’t control. How pathetic.
