    “Centrists” understand that calling everyone you disagree with a fascist takes any real meaning from the word, and removes any possibility of convincing those people that you want to include them in making the world a better place. Progress on societal issues requires bringing society along. Extremists start wars. “Centrists” make progress.

      Centrists tried to work with the Nazis, I don’t recall that turning out so well.

      Good thing they didn’t listen to those “extremist” unionists.
