Reich: What the 'center' really means

His FB post follows commenting on his Substack post.  Remember when you hear politicians framing the center as some sort of common sense compromise what they really mean is the status quo. Same goes for the BS term bi-partisanship. We have to be partisan to democracy and against fascism. That is the real choice for which there is no center.

"I just heard Joe Manchin say Biden has to move to the “center.” Rubbish. There is no middle ground between lies and facts. There is no halfway point between civil discourse and violence. There is no midrange between democracy and fascism. The visionary leaders of America have always understood that the 'center' is a fictitious place lying somewhere south of thoughtless adherence to the status quo."
