- In his book, Lieberman distinguishes centrism from mere moderation and calls it a strategy for making democracy work through cooperation.
- When Lieberman entered the Senate in 1989, votes typically included about 40 conservatives, 40 liberals and 20 unpredictable members, whereas by 2013 no comparable cross-party outliers remained.
- Lieberman attributes polarization to the design of congressional districts, the growing influence of money, and partisan coverage by cable news and social media.
- Republicans criticized Biden over an agenda including a $1.9tn relief bill, a $1.2tn infrastructure deal and a $1.75tn social and climate spending package.
Centrism is not an ideology. It’s a strategy for making democracy work.— Joe Lieberman, in a Guardian interview about Biden, Trump and centrism; 'Centrism is not an ideology. It’s a strategy for making democracy work.'
