    Is a centrist anyone who says “I’m not into politics but (right wing propaganda)” because that’s unironically been my experience so far.

      I’m not into politics, but I think everyone should deserve human rights regardless of race, gender or sexuality.

      And I’m a centrist. Fuck you guys who only pick and choose specific examples to paint us as right wingers.

        If that’s the only issue you vote on, then you’ve never voted for a republican, but I don’t think that’s the case.

      Depends. I’m centrist but a bit left-leaning and I fucking hate Musk.

        O am not personally affiliated with any party but will be voting Democrat, as it seems, for the rest of my time here.

      That and anyone who explains to the left that they too would like a better nominee, but we can figure that out after this crucial election cycle…during every election cycle for their entire life, which are the only times they discuss politics.

              Oh, you’re one of those “if you don’t think Biden is perfect you must love Trump” morons? Fuck off with that idiocy.

                No, I’m one of those if you have to pick between a shit sandwich and a shit looking sandwich, you pick the latter not the former.

                If no one voted for trump how did he become president, those are your shit eating countrymen and you support their consumption wholeheartedly.

                  Nobody’s saying not to pick, that’s YOUR assumption.

                  What I’m talking about is the people who keep shooting down all criticism with “we can deal with that after this election cycle” and then repeats that mantra every election cycle forever rather than ever ask that establishment politicians do anything other than not being fascists.

                  If you’re one of those, off continues to be the direction in which I ask you to fuck.

                    Yes, that’s how elections work. You elect the representatives then they do thing that represent your wishes.

                    You keep electing the ones working in the right direction to build momentum.

                    You don’t vote to hit the emergency break because the car isn’t going fast enough.

                    Well, Americans do, but we all know about the current state of American education.

          Half of the people did not vote for Trump. Not even close.

            Non voters vote for ‘I’ll have what she’s having’, so yeah, they did.

              A lot of people can’t vote because they’re disenfranchised. That includes people who are underage, have felonies, etc.

        Nobody said anything about FAR right. In fact, you’re the one who’s characterizing people as extremists for disagreeing with you, a typical centrist move.

            Nah, I’m fine right here. You can go be devoid of ideals elsewhere.

                Yeah, you are. Another couple of traits common amongst centrists.

                    Aww, that’s adorable, but that’s not the burn you think it is lol.

                    If anyone ever actually achieved communism, it would be much better than most if not all government forms tried so far. Alas, that’ll probably never happen as it seems to inevitably turn into a hyperauthoritarian and unequal oligarchy.

                    Thanks for wishing the real thing on me even though I pointed out your centrist shortcomings, though!

        Compared to any other western country, American centrists are far right. Republicans are off the map.
