For all the talk about staying in the center, it's a wonder we don't just split the parties into left, right, and center. Well, I know the actual reason is that the two major parties really don't want a successful third party springing up to attract all the independents of the country.
This is nonsense. They do not want Castro's Cuba or Stalin's Russia.
This is a 40 year old tactic starting with Reagan that the GOP has used. "Unless you give billionaires everything they want all the time, you are a Communist oppressor."
Reagan successfully busted the air traffic control unions, and that started the decline of worker's collective bargaining. If anyone is trying to make us look like China, it would be the GOP.
"Liberal" means open, pluralistic. The term "conservative" is anything but the way the party sells that word. China is not a liberal state. It is not politically pluralistic. In China you keep your mouth shut and tow the party line. China is a CONSERVATIVE state, not a liberal state.
China is a closed state, but it is also a capitalistic state at the same time. It's economy works on exploitation of workers, and between the United Sates and China we are two of the biggest polluters in the world.
There is no "center" on economic issues. That left with Reagan. The only thing you can blame dems for is allowing the GOP to pull both parties to the economic right. It also didn't help that the middle class and working class as voters gave up when Reagan set up that decline.
