That's because "centrist" doesn't mean what it once did a few decades ago, prior to the premier of Faux News.
I don't care what we call socialists to make them more palatable to the masses, just so long as they keep winning.
As they should, centrist Democrats approved the current fascist administration before they finally started pumping the brakes a little, now and then. Still not nearly enough. There should be weekly impeachment bills with the list of charges growing until they can't all collectively ignore them.
You are ignoring all the work they've done so far at finger wagging.
It just a show in amerikkka, democrats, socialists, progressives whatever that actually wins an election are just bluemaga. You cant vote your way into a revolution so why bother
Assuming it actually does come to revolution, that revolution is almost certainly going to be led by these up and coming leaders you've hastily labeled blue maga. Cuz they're the ones with supporters.
So IMO if you want a revolution it makes a lot more sense to engage these movements instead of waiting for one that may never appear.
Personally I think revolution or bust is only relatable to people who have experienced severe harm from society. I don't think things are anywhere even remotely close to bad enough for there to be adequate numbers of people disenfranchised enough to join a popular revolution.
