The new strength of Democratic moderates in the Senate may temper just how aggressively Democratic leaders can push for President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package and other priorities, including climate change legislation.
The addition of two new Democratic moderates to the Senate — newly elected Sens. John Hickenlooper (Colo.) and Mark Kelly (Ariz.) — combined with enhanced profiles for Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), has strengthened the centrist wing of the caucus.

“Centrist Democrats” just want to steal some of your stuff instead of all of it—how moderate and reasonable of them!
When the time for the new party arrives (Don’t call it a “third party”, it will be first is short order) it will attract a lot of Democrats.
I don’t believe there is such as a centrist Democrat anymore, they’re all radical marxists.
Centrist Democrats always vote with the democrats, meaning they vote with the progressives.
At very best, Senate Democrat centrists are a rare breed, and those that show tendencies are herded back into the corral pretty quickly. Don’t expect ANY Democrat Senator to vote for acquittal of the charge against former President Trump.
Their minds are made up, damn the facts.
“Centrist Democrats” are hopelessly stupid. They are not the sort of people you should trust in any matter of importance, nor should you ever allow them in your home. They are often identified by their occupation ( government worker, teacher, low level heath care worker). They are vapid and shallow.
“Centrist Democrats”: They that want to hit you with a bus.
“Progressives”: They that want to hit you with a train.
Centrist Democrats... name one.
Fake news. Centrist Democrats no longer exist and, if they did, the Democrat hierarchy would insist on compliance.
Tulsi is making her move. Crowder had her on his show yesterday.
Yep. There’s nothing of the old extreme Left that is extreme to the Left anymore.
It’s why Bernie no longer has to pretend not to be a Democrat.
A “centrist” these days would include McGovern.
He may even be considered Right of Center by now.
There’s a reason why so much looks like the far right now to these Leftist Loons.
Good post—a know a bunch of these types.
They wait for the mass media to tell them what to think—they have no problem contradicting what they said the day before—because the “experts” told them it was ok.
Mancin + Tester voted against the Keystone just yesterday. And you’re telling me what?
Kelly is a whack job gun grabber as is looney toon sinema. Manchin does whatever he’s told by shummer.
Among Democrat legislators, there is no concept of “moderate”.
You do what Party leadership tells you to, or you get stripped of committee assignments and get no re-election funding.
BS. The number of “centrists” are so small, it’s insignificant.
There are no centrist Democrats!!!!
Only paying lip service to the idea of centrist to appear so. They vote the party line like all good commies
Sheesh, centrist “Republicans” don’t even fight the leftists....why would Democrats?
