We don't need to reach out to the "center", we need to reach out to the common people

10. I pretty much agree with that

If you take a poll you will have a lot of people who call themselves centrists but that term means so many different things to different people that it is basically meaningless. The media tries to present the Third Way types as centrists, but the reality is the Third Way is a tiny fringe group and very few of the people who identify as centrists also identify as Third Way. Most of the people who identify as centrist are really just common people, they may not actually be progressives themselves but they are often people that share some common ground with progressives. We don't need to move to the right to win a lot of them over.
