If I don't ever see another centrist pretending like they can't identify a dude with swastikas all over his body as a neo-nazi then it'll be too soon.

White people who are far left on every issue but racism are the worst. The Susan B. Anthony/Bernie Sanders liberals suck, but they think everyone but them are centrists

"centrists" who always bash the left and never say anything about or always support the right are the worst imo

They do that because there is no shortage of voices to denounce the right. They fear the left will someday become as bad as the right, so they want to raise more awareness on that side of the fence

Maybe

Having apathy for an issue doesn't make you a centrist.

Somehow playing devils advocate for every single issue and saying shit like "well maybe it's both of their fault" is.

The worst are people who think "centrist" literally means they blindly pick the middle ground on everything in the same way the far-left or far-right blindly follow their side.

just saw that clip of a fortnite streamer slapping his wife after she verbally berated him and threw stuff at him.... in front of their kids.

Throwing stuff aint cool. Slapping is far worse. But doing it in front of kids? Hang them both.

Gonna go hug my dog.


Some people do indeed deserve that reputation.

To be fair, a lot of people who openly call themselves centrist seem to do so for the sense of intellectual superiority they get from it, not realizing that just because a position is in the middle doesn't necessarily make it the best. Not all of course, but the most vocal among them seem to act that way.

Not towing the ideological line is also being a centrist.

And when you criticize someone for saying "it's both of their faults", you're really saying "how dare you not put 100% of the blame on the side I disagree with?"

Maybe if people would stop only saying "it's both sides" whenever republicans seem to get criticized to deflect away from the criticism. Maybe people would be less hostile towards the "it's both sides" people.

Usually it leads to some pathetic victim blaming.

Like Boogie saying that gay marriage was too early.

Seriously Boogie represents everything that's terrible about the modern centrist. Has no real opinion on anything and cries when people disagree because he automatically assumed that the truth is always in the middle somewhere.

Centrist doesn't mean someone who thinks the right answer is always in the middle. It can be someone who has both left-wing and right-wing ideals and doesn't 90% line up with either side.

For example, I consider myself a centrist. But there are almost no issues where I think the answer is in the middle.

For example, abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change. The left is clearly right on these issues. No meeting in the middle here.

Gun rights, strong borders, strong private sector. The right is clearly right on these issues. No meeting in the middle here.

To be a centrist in the US is to be in between a party that engineered the War in Iraq, and a party whose senators mostly voted for it; a party that is committed to worsening climate change, and a party that acknowledges it as a problem but mostly doesn't offer solutions that would meaningfully address it; a party whose deregulation of the financial sector led to the 2008 collapse, and a party whose deregulation of the financial sector led to the 2008 collapse.
Centrists aren't the worst, but they aren't good.

if the person doesn't actually identify as a "centrist", they're typically not
extremists on either side, however, LOVE to paint anyone who's not as militant as they are as cowardly linewalkers
compared to the political extremes, the grand majority of people are centrists...

the moderate left and moderate right exist, as they should
and the majority of sane political movements come from them, not the extremes
because the smartest people in our nations cherry pick what politics they want to support from BOTH the left and right
because good ideas that benefited society have historically come from both

how can the right be a dying breed if they control two branches of government and right-wing populism is gaining ground across the world

That is the right.

The "right" is the scary, racist, "christians" that you are always complaining about.

i remember a lot of accusations of this from the clinton camp in 2016

in truth it's never been about losing voters but rather about prioritizing other issues

minority issues are surprisingly well-supported by mainstream democrats and are far from the 'back burner'. if anything, it's social democracy/welfare state programs that have taken the back burner for the past 30 years.

Why is being centrist bad? Why is it bad to believe both the left and the right have both good and bad? Why must everyone be extremist left and extremist right with no middle ground? You dont automatically have to discard all things on one side just because you agree with some things on the other side, and you people like TC and the people agreeing with him are the actual unironic worst.

More like:

"We want more rights for white people"
"We want more rights for black people"
"How about equality for all people?"
