The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Bullshit. Troops have to adapt if conditions warrant it because supply lines are compromised by enemies or there are material shortages, but that's not what happened. It was shear incompetence that created those conditions. 150

The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thing is that the leftists actually do work with centrists. Leftists concede on policy all of the time. Centrists do not.

The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This isn't about purity tests. That's all a lie. This is about helping people. Every generation since Reagan has faced a bleaker economic future. The current system cannot produce it. Perpetuating it is dangerous. It produces the exact environment that gave us Mussolini and Hitler. 010
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Trump won because people are desperate. They're living paycheck to paycheck with no belief that things can get better. They're frustrated and angry. Republicans play to that anger. Give them a scapegoat. Centrist Dems tell them everything's fine, actually. Economy's great. Nothing to see here. 011
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Today Schumer declared that if Dems took congress he wouldn't necessarily stop the appointment of another of Trump's Justices. That is insane, but trying to maintain a status quo that no longer exists is exactly what centrists do. Boil and simmer. 110
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Republicans bring our country to a boil and centrists reduce us to a simmer, but never let us cool off. 110
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They would disagree, because current progressives that promote the same kind of policies are cast in that light. Centrism is fundamentally a conservative ideology. Its goal is to maintain the status quo for those whose interests are served by it. 110
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That they won their elections isn't a testament to centrism. The context in which they ran was not the situation we currently find ourselves in. Todays centrists want to pretend it is, but the situation requires something else. These centrists would be calling FDR a radical socialist. 030
The Cole Enchilada @colemcm75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Obama stuck us with an inferior, conservative healthcare system that made transitioning to a more inclusive system more difficult.
