Move the Center
Huge article by Digby. Obama needs to read it.
Don’t move to the center. Move the center to where you are.
Point out the most obvious examples of extremism and obstructionism as extremism and obstructionism. Call them by their proper names. Challenge the ridiculous claims of the Right to represent anybody close to the mainstream, and show that they only represent corporate lobbyists and teabaggers.
There’s a battle on for the center. Let’s win it with our best friends: mockery, reframing, and resistance.
Our chief weapons are pointing, mockery, reframing, resistance, and pulling the center out from under them. Amongst our weaponry…. But the center is ours. Keep it.
