It's breaking my brain to see people referring to New Democrats caucus and thinking it's... actually new. New Democrats dominated the party from the late 1980s through the early-2010s. It's just Clintonism! It's "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" (that, lol, is going socially conservative)

We don't have to listen to centrists EVER. They were in charge the last several DECADES. They have failed endlessly!

Everybody thinks that everybody's a moderate because that's what the moderates in control have been telling everybody.

To be fair if we are discussing "moderate" as a grab bag of opinions within a standard deviation of the majority of the country there's both radical and abysmally horrid stuff in there
