Now I'm imagining the most CentristTM senator to ever live demonstratively putting a desk in the middle of the aisle to prove their bipartisanship.

Wait, copyright do not steal. I'm gonna pitch this to Aaron Sorkin.

maybe they’re third if you don’t count each Catholic diocese as a “church.” iirc individual countries’ Catholic Churches (like the Catholic Church of France) make up the top five and I think Mormons are in there somewhere

the SPGB unironically believe that socialism will never happen except by 'parliamentary revolution' - when 50%+1 of the electorate want socialism, they'll vote in a socialist government and this government will establish socialism with zero pushback because there are no other centres of power in society
