The centrist heavenly chorus

Centrists against freedom: Centrists don’t worry about giving lots of power to governments, any more than they worry about bosses’ power over workers. Jeet Heer on the centrist grievance against “victim politics”. We need to talk about reactionary centrists: Sympathizing with the Right while punching Left is not the neutral position pundits seem to think it is. E.J. Dionne on how the centrist heavenly chorus is off-key. Vincent Harinam and Rob Henderson on how political moderates are lying. Frank Bruni is a bloodless, passionless ghost haunting political punditdom. No, the mythical “center” isn’t sexy. The hard right can only be defeated from the left, not from the centre.
