“The largest public gathering of centrist Democrats.”
WelcomeFest consisted of professional consultants telling politicians, “Don’t sound like you listen to consultants!”, followed by politicians saying “Ya know in my district there in the Midwest, I talk to regular folks, not consultants.”
Derek Thompson, coauthor of the new centrist Bible “Abundance,” jumped in with an inspiration. “Stories are for children,” he said, channeling the voice of a politician. “What Americans need is a plan.”
“I’m not a storyteller,” he declared, modeling a bold man of action. Then he pulled back from his speech, to pundit once again. “What I did there is also storytelling.”
This is how people sound when they’re just talking. Talking and talking, with nothing to say.
I always thought this book was more a techbro nazi utopia sort of bible.

That whole article further reinforces my firm belief of "centrist don't exist". They never have and they never will. A "Centrist Democrat" is a DINO and a "Centrist Republican" is a RINO.
Fuck that's as depressing to read as Maga Manifestos
