    There ARE extremists on both sides, but the entire US political spectrum is so skewed toward the right that these “centrists” are standing JUST outside of the extreme right, and several miles from the closest social democracy proponent, while screaming “DON’T COME ANY CLOSER” to the left, shaking in fear.
