Krugman slams centrists

[Jamaal510]

23. This is just my opinion, but on a political spectrum

I see right-wing politics as fascism, and centrist politics as fascism-lite. Conservatives want policies that pamper the 1% and policies that bring us back to the gilded era (where minorities and women had less power), and centrists sometimes support those type of policies.

Political experts and pundits like to talk about there being "two extremes", but I never got what was so extreme about left-wing politics. Liberals are the ones who want gays to have the right to get married, people to stop being thrown in jail over marijuana, a stronger safety net for the working class, liberals want clean air and water, they want to preserve women's right to birth control and abortions, no money in politics, and the 1% to pay more taxes so tax rates will be fair.
