I think that people have a weird assumption that centrism is something that has massive appeal when I think the reality is that most people aren't really that ideologically inclined at all and will kind of do whatever - there's a lot of "undecideds"/moderates who will swing for a progressive candidate because it just seems like the thing to do, for whatever reason, and might not be related to the fact that they're progressive How a "centrist" would do depends a lot on what "centrist" means. I think a candidate whose views were in the middle of the political spectrum on most issues would do fairly well in a general election, but the when the media says "centrist" they're ruling out any Democrat for being too far left regardless of their views. A Clinton/Obama/Biden-type Democrat would probably be unbeatable in a general election if they were the Republican nominee. --- Congrats to 2019 Guru champ Advokaiser! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
