April 7, 2021 at 1:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Max Boot: We wont transform our political system anytime soon. In the meantime, centrists have a binary choice: Support either an increasingly extremist and obstructionist Republican Party or a Democratic Party that, under President Biden, is working to solve our most pressing problems.
Biden is governing from the new center while Republicans are increasingly catering to the far right with shrill, divisive rhetoric and antidemocratic actions such as bills to restrict voting. Under those circumstances, those of us on the center-right cant afford a third-party flirtation. We need to become Biden Republicans.

an oxymoron.
Irish_Dem
(46,426 posts)4. Looks like they are just trying to save their party?

Sane, tolerant, or honest Republican would all be oxymorons.

& tell them to fight for the party instead of capitulating to the crazies. Oops, the GOP can't win without the racists, zealots, & loons. It will be interesting to see if they can win without the moderates, assuming there are enough moderate repubs left who are genuinely not happy with their party.
