Biden won the 2020 election in large part because he was able to win the center... That's why it should be alarming to Biden that the recent downturn in his approval rating has come disproportionately from independents.
That's been the case for my entire lifetime, I remember someone sharing around an interview with a Clinton or gore era DNC advisor talking about how that's the strategy: move to the right and blame the left until they get in line
Its a lose-lose situation for us.
If Democrats win in 2022 the narrative will be "this shows the importance of Biden's pragmatic centrist approach"
If Democrats lose in 2022 the narrative will be "this shows the need for Biden to embrace a pragmatic centrist approach"
I hate it here
Neoliberal centrism by their definition cannot fail. It can only be failed.

Gotta use the "you're a lying sack of shit" approach as a lefty
