This is not how I have understood the criticisms being thrown around Lemmy lately, but I appreciate the perspective. Even so, I'm not sure I can agree that the best solution to dealing with the right is to fight the centrists first, but I can at least appreciate your point in the specific context of the current two-party system.

We aren't able to use electoralism to fight the right as long as the political platform and messaging of the democratic party is 95% the same as the republican's.
