Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.”
Rubbish.
Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Analysis Summary
Reich's opening claim is real — Democratic leaders are genuinely divided between progressives and centrists who want a rightward shift. But his dismissal of the 'center' as a false choice between democracy and oligarchy is political argument, not fact. He's saying compromise with centrism is capitulation to oligarchy — a framing choice, not a statement about what the center actually believes or would deliver.
Claims Analysis (2)
“Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the center.”
Democratic primary coverage from Guardian and NYT confirms internal debate about party direction and competing visions between progressive and establishment wings. The Guardian explicitly notes 'left flank' strength and 'old guard' challenges.
“There is no meaningful center between democracy and oligarchy.”
This is a value judgment about political positioning. Reich is asserting that centrist compromise between democratic and oligarchic systems is inherently false/dangerous — a claim about framing rather than fact.
