    If specifics are needed, Tim Pool (like most of these people) claims to be centrist… Yet always fails into line with the right on everything.

      Ah, Tim isn’t that bad, a guy doen’t think he’s a centrist is probably very, very far left.

        You’re right on half of that, but on what issue does he meaningfully align with the left? Like I said, he seems to fall right into line with the right on everything - outside the shallowest veneer.

        I’m a centrist - both sides are bad - exclusively lists things the Democrats are doing.

        I don’t support the Republicans - but agrees with everything they’re doing.

        It’s a great way to feel as though you’ve risen above partisanship and form your own opinions like a special smart boy - as you’re led straight to right-wing positions on every issue.

          Haven’t listened to him in a long time, but he definitely did not use to align Republican, disagreeing with Democrats horseshit isn’t the same thing.

            He certainly shifted right over time, but I don’t think he could have ever fairly been called a centrist.

            Disagreeing with the Democrats doesn’t make you right-wing (I disagree with them on most things because I’m pretty far left - condemning the Democrats exclusively (other than the vaguest possible 'I don’t agree with the republicans) while near-universally agreeing with the positions of the GOP makes you right-wing.

              Is he exactly agreeing with what they say or what they do? Unfortunately that’s a real big difference.

                All of the above.

                Can you name anything Pool has agreed with the Democrats on (and disagreed with the conservative/reactionary/magat line) - words or actions in the last 2 years?

                I’m sure we can find something - but you could say that if most conservative voters. The relative difficulty proves my point.
