    It’s not a strawman when there are always people saying Dems are the same as Reps.

      Are Democrats “the left” for you? If anything, they are the center, even more right than left.

      The Democrats are closer to the Republicans than they are to the actual left.

      SO, if anyone is saying that the Democrats are the same as the Republicans, it should be the actual leftists and the communists instead of the centrists.

      I think the center is actually saying “yes, we need more social policies but let’s not jump into communism and ‘0h work week’ anti-work shit please”. That’s it.

      I’m pretty sure 90% of centrists would agree with universal Healthcare. I’m not even sure what’s the point of this meme. “If you’re not with me, you’re against me” kind of fallacy? OK.

        The terms “left” and “right” are being used relatively in this context. Not that you’d understand that nuance if it hit you upside your head, seeing as you have exactly zero idea what an American moderate thinks like. They might say that shit, but as soon as they hear their taxes or gas prices go up they cower away

        There are zero Democrats advocating for communism and 0h work weeks, so that doesn’t really make sense
