If there's a Democrat you don't want to vote for, then go work your ass off in the primary for the candidate you want in the general. That's what happened in NJ with Analilia Mejia. But don't just whine about centrist Dems. And if the nominee is a centrist Dem, shut the fuck up and vote for them.

Two tuberculosis cases detected at Camp East Montana ICE facility
Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.
