I’m not a centrist at all. I keep telling y’all this. What I won’t do is throw black concerns under the bus to chase the very people not voting for this.I would actually like this thread a lot of it wasn't just an excuse for Nap to launder his centrist nonsense through a pro-Black lens.
Greenwald is an ideology-less dirtbag, and has never been on the Left.
Others like Ana Kasparian have declared themselves to be Leftists, but are essentially just white identitarians that want healthcare, and are not onboard with socialism, anarchist, or communist projects or theory coming from Black and Indigenous writers, activists, communities, leaders, and organizations.
Hence the video above.
Kasparian is right-wing trash with a mediocre opinion concerning healthcare.
You sit in the middle between the Left and the Right; that is centrist. Do you think Elizabeth Warren is on the Left? She isn't. In comparison to her Senate colleagues, she is, but the Senate leans far enough to the Right that it would be a fascist party in any other place on the planet.I’m not a centrist at all.

nando and Ana were both saying “you can’t reach people calling them racist all day”….like WTF??!?!!!!!!!

You also disavow the Black Left as well, so you're not taking the concerns all that seriously (unless you've decided to delve into the works of Huey Newton, Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, Thomas Sankara, Frantz Fanon, Cedric Robinson, and Angela Davis - but you've given no indication of that.)
And yeah, I agree with the second part of what you're saying - dirtbag White people who proclaim to be on the Left have this insane belief that you should try to reach out to white racists constantly, and then pointing out our centuries-long division along racial lines is just going to "slow us down."
While I do subscribe to Jacobin, a good chunk of their writers (much like the Intercept) are absolute dogshyt. I honestly prefer Nathan J. Robinson and his line-up at Current Affairs.
