I mean, the meme isn’t centrist. Even if the meme is literally 100% accurate, the reasonable thing would be to be a democrat. I’d take someone who can’t govern over someone who is literally evil every time.
Beyond that, the idea of the meme I think is accurate. The Dem do suck, in a lot of ways. They’re also, not as bad as the Republicans. So I’ll politically support the dems, even if I’m not exactly going to be jumping for joy about doing so.
I don’t think its ‘centrist’ to say that the two party systems is set up to overwhelmingly support the interests of the wealthy, no matter which of the two parties are in power.
There’s already an enlighten centrism lemmy community?

Republicans: block basically every attempt at social goods making their way into public hands
Centrists: “Bro why are democrats ass at governing”
Centrists: “Bro why are all these old people ass at governing” FIFY
That’s definitely not the argument I see centrists making, maybe occasionally. But then again most people are tired of old fuckers in office
You see centrist, I see far-left
