    It’s time for the US to form a centrist party, instead of people having to choose between far right, right, and far left.

      Where is this “far left” you speak of?

      Like where is any party saying to abolish private property, arrest the billionaires, and give the entire means of production to the working class?

      Nancy Pelosi queen democrat literally said we live in a free market after making her 200 million playing stock market games.

        Every single democrat, Bernie and AOC included, just gave full-throated support to Biden as he presided over the greatest wealth transfer in history.

      What far left? You mean the “far left” that continues to support the surveillance state in the US or the “far left” that continues to support the total destruction of Gaza? I can keep going, those are only the first two that came to mind.

        I don’t get this whole Gaza thing. Seems you Americans are distracted by Gaza well your own house is burning down around you. Take care of the house fire first.

          While what’s happening in Gaza is horrific, it’s sadly far down on the list of grievances against the so called “far left” in the US. It was just one that came immediately to mind. They’ve also had no problem with “Citizens United” which allowed unlimited money in politics, they’ve continued to support the police state in the US, a lack of any meaningful movement on healthcare.

          Joe Manchin is no longer a Senator but he used to be considered a “centrist”. He was a fucking coal barron who used his influence to get his daughter a made up MBA, she in turn was CEO of Mylan when they jacked up prices on the life saving Eli-pen.
