On @NPR today I heard @MaxBoot say he is no longer a Republican, nor is he a Democrat...he is homeless.
If you feel left out of the parties, welcome home. Non-partisan means we can just be us, and work together for a better #Maine and a better US.

I don't know that the sentiments are mutually exclusive. The parties feel like they have moved, particularly the GOP, and that leaves a bigger space in the middle to compare moderation in.

Pundits would say that those running are running from the outer fringes but the majority of voters are centrists but still ID as either a Democrat or a Republican.

I believe we have been pulled so far right by the
#GOP for decades that people have trouble understanding that those called liberals and progressives are essentially the true moderates.

The “center” is nothing but a moving “split the baby” target. It stands for nothing in particular & compromise (not consensus or cooperative) policies tend to be bad policy. I’m a unabashedly partisan because I’m partial to standing for certain aspirations and ideas.

Hard to know what "centrist" position on health care is: Only kick like 5 million off insurance? On taxes: Only cut taxes of the super rich by 10 percent?

There's lots of research on this. Google "asymmetric polarization."
