"Centrists", as in the reason we got W.
"Centrists", as in the reason America doesn't at least have multi-payer health care. Whether by tanking the public option or flat-out refusing to vote for an ACA that would have HAD a public option; all so they wouldn't ruffle the feathers of their Big Pharma/Big Insurance handlers even one bit. As a father of a kid who has a pre-existing condition, don't even for one SECOND think I'm EVER going to forgive or forget what these assholes did in that regard.
"Centrists", as in those who voted for the IWR, sending thousands of soldiers, children, wives and sovereign citizens to their deaths . . . . with the flimsy excuse of "we didn't know Bewsh lied" . . . all so companies LIKE Lockheed/Martin can get a piece of that war-machine pie.
"Centrists", as in those who expect ME to "bend the knee" when the population responded overwhelmingly in favor of populist issues over wedge issues.
"Centrists" who accuse people like me of tanking Hillary . . . even though I VOTED for Hillary . . . you tell me how THAT makes any sense.
