    The centrists worked together with the left to beat the far right. Absolute mad-lads.

        Unfortunately our media are studiously not taking note.

        Prior to these results, a few weeks back, NPR was trying to make it seem like the far-right and the “far left” were working together. It was the most bizarre, disjointed reporting I’ve heard in a while. They want people here to believe the center/left is extreme and uncompromising.

          Didn’t see the NPR article, but this absolutely rings true to me. I live in a blue city in a red state. We were littered by Green Party ads for the primaries that were funded by right wing groups. I wouldn’t say that the far left and far right are working together, but the right is for sure posing as leftist in local outlets and actively encouranging the left’s tendency to eat their own.

            Of course they are, and they’ve been doing it for decades at this point all over the Internet. Anybody remember #walkaway? The movement founded by a ‘former liberal’ who ended up at J6 3 years later.

            It’s funny how often they barely try to hide their right wing roots

      Centrists don’t like the far right for some reason.

      In Belgium, even the right don’t like the far right. And would rather work together with the left. Lol

      Might be that WW2 still lingers in their mind.

        In America the centrists would rather have Trump than work together with the left. Though it’s hard to call the Democratic party centrists anymore they are just slightly less right wing than Republicans.
