"Once upon a time the Democrats were more right-wing and the Republicans
were more left. In the nineteenth century Democrats voted against the
freedom of enslaved people and Republicans voted for their release. In
the sixties Democrat President John F Kennedy proposed and the US
legislature voted in a Civil Rights Act that outlawed discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. In the 1980s
Republican President Ronald Reagan brought in many neo-liberal policies
which eroded the rights of workers and freed the very wealthy from
social responsibility. In the 1990s Democrat President Bill Clinton put
forward very similar policies. You would be hard pressed to find much
centre bewteen those two presidents.
So who are these “centrists”?"
