    Ultimately they are analogous in that they are rival attempts to portray perfectly legal actions -- purging voter rolls, expanding mail-in voting -- with differential partisan impacts as "stealing an election"

        I mean literally, this take is defense of Jim Crow, which was similarly all "legal"

        1) The fuck does "centrism" have to do with anything? 2) In his next tweet in the thread this jagoff explains that he realized his tweet was asinine, he was deliberately trolling. 3) Obviously, deliberately trolling is shitty behavior. But the equivalence was meant to be false.

        I remember when y’all were calling Abrams a “centrist”. Anything bad...welp, must be “centrists”—the consummate boogieman, and scapegoat of the Left.

        and I would argue this is whataboutism. Purging voter rolls disenfranchises eligible voters, while mail-in (albiet without the sabotague ) voting expands access to more people who are eligible which should always be the goal of democracy. Always.

        That’s not “centrism”. Yang’s whole project is recycling the intellectual dog whistling that has always mapped and reinforced the suppression and demonization of black people in the USA.

        This is both-sides-ism more than it's centrism, right?
