Data from a new Gallup survey suggests that close to half of Democrats want their party to move more toward the middle, while more than 40% of Republicans are happy with their party.

I think the biggest factor missing from this discussion are the people that voted for both Obama and Trump. This is where the fallacy of reaching across as a good thing comes from. Both sides want to win that voter and both sides misunderstand why both voted the way they did. Or if it is understood, getting the getting the entrenched base who is the party’s power to buy in turns them off.
Taking Biden as a centrist as fact, he wasn’t portrayed that way in the media by both sides. And that goes in favor for my argument as trying to be centrist is or playing favorable to the center is political suicide.
Seeing as trump got about the same amount of votes as the last election, the deciding factor was the amount of “Democrats” that stayed home. I doubt there is much overlap between those who voted for Obama and then saw what trump did the first go around and said yeah, they want some more of that.
I’m taking biden’s voting record as proof he was a centerist. The media plays whatever makes them the most money. 24hr news networks need to die off. It’s painfully obvious when articles like this.
I agree being a centerist is suicide. The left needs to pull the right back to the middle a lot more than the other way around.
