There is no "center" between decency and indecency, between democracy and authoritarianism, between a government of billionaires and a government of the people. If Democrats move to "the center", they will pave the way for the next Trump.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.
