        If she drops some of her extreme positions, calms down a bit and moves further to the center, she’ll have a real shot at the candidacy by the time she’s 75.

          Cleaving to the centre has enabled Trump, because centrists can’t criticise the neoliberal system while Trump and his MAGA cult can and will.

          As the facade of neoliberal policy crumbles we can all see it doesn’t work. Being able to criticise it and assert a different future (rather than a mythical past of greatness) is essential.

        Yes exactly, Bernie has similar politics but doesn’t get the same hatred. There were some Bernie voters who even hopped to Trump. They care more about sexism/racism than actual politics.
