There are 28 centrists in America and all of them work 16 hours a day churning out bullshit opinion pieces.

A big lesson of 2024 was that extremism loses votes — and the sooner we stop pretending that Americans are secret lefties/MAGA diehards waiting to be sold on a big, bold message, the better we’ll understand what happened.

Fuckin-a right?

The “center” largely voted for a guy who said he’d be a dictator and would use the military against his political opponents? Sure, why not

Is this article a love note to Big Media Matt?

unbearable anodyne glop.

Man what election were they looking at?

how TF is that the lesson when the extremist won?

Also this seems like nonsense? Trump ran an explicitly racist, transphobic campaign, pledging revenge on “those people” and was rewarded with a trifecta.

When Kamala Harris never even ran in any attempt to appeal to the left, and she was running a Center-right campaign as opposition to Trump's far-right campaign, why are there still shitlibs saying Democrats lost because they were too far-left after they weren't even the slightest bit left at all.

It’s pants-on-head dumbassery. Harris campaigned with moderate Republicans whereas Trump held a Nazi rally in NYC.

What world are they living in?

These morons would be better off spending their time trying to guess what catastrophe will finally drive non-voters to vote.

My guess is being told they no longer have the right to vote. Then suddenly they'll have wanted to all their lives.

Wapo. Why even bother.

Being very generous in describing it as work

Block that nonsense. The Dems were soft, middle-of-the-road, same old. And look where that got us. When they put up someone who knows a knife fight when they’ve been stabbed, they’ll be getting someplace.
