The three characteristics are consistent with a far-left agenda that blames all of society's woes on capitalism. Unfortunately, recently Trump, MAGA and leading Republicans have decided to accuse progressive Democrats of being "communists" or "socialists" despite having no facts to support the claims. While the charges are no more true than any of Trump's thousands of other lies, the redbaiting on the right makes it difficult for centrists, especially Democrats, to confront the actual extremists on the left for fear of being discredited.
This is a textbook “centrist democrat”. He acknowledges that his side of the aisle has been hijacked by far left extremists, but then he immediately pivots to calling Trump a liar and the real problem.
Why is Trump a liar? Because he called your side communist without any evidence. Except you just admitted your own side has been overrun with communists.
Why is Trump the problem? Because him “lying” about your side being overrun with communist is preventing you from counteracting the communists who have overrun your side.
This is how retarded moderate democrats have become. These people should be endlessly mocked until they retreat from public life entirely.
There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Manchin is the closest approximation of one, and he rubber stamps the agenda 95% of the time instead of 100%. The fact is they would be siding with the Republicans to rein in the lunatics in their camp if their "centrism" and "moderation" were anything more than an act to con gullible retards.
They are political teams, not ideological groups. That's why Manchin still is one. They don't care what he thinks, except on the margins, because as you point out they get 95% of his vote.
