Current Events > Why aren't you a centrist?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why do you choose to jump on a random bandwagon so that others can tell you what your opinion is?

I am a centrist though. I support murdering fetuses and serial killers.

Or someone who thinks someone who kills people without remorse shouldnt see the light of day instead of somehow rehabilitating them out of the lifestyle theyve known for decades and having them hit the streets 10 years later just to kill someone else.
Its okay to believe that some criminals are pure evil and are beyond salvation.

That's not a centrist at all

What does this have to do with centrism

---

If you think about it, anarchists are the true centrists.

---

I don't why some people have convinced themselves that being halfway between one country's prominent parties is the only correct view. I'd say those people are more obsessed with political identity than anyone.

---

Centrism is often conflated with being critical and displeased with both the mainstream political parties, but thats not what centrism is.

---

Because the center of american politics is further to the right than I would prefer.

---

Ideally both parties should just stay the fuck out of social issues and worry about how to spend taxes. One party should be the frugal shitheads who cut the fat off in useless social programs. The other should keep corporations in check and look to expand the social net in areas that are necessary.

Obviously, that is an oversimplification, but I wholly vote Democrat because of social issues and it's disgusting. Both parties operate in a manner to ensure the elites can make as much money as possible and do nothing but pander to the masses to garner support when they really don't give a fuck about us.

Fuck them both.

And my tangent had nothing to do with centrism.

Sorry. Lol.

People who don't blindly follow a single side.

Essentially a smart person. Most people are not smart however.

---

Thank god I hate politics. I agree with certain aspects of both parties, meaning there is no place for me in the system we have.

---

I'm almost a centrist. I almost wish I were, but I support 90% of all left wing policies and I can't even name a single right wing policy that I do support....does Space Force count?

I say I want to be a centrist because I hate this silly culture war where being a leftist means you need to hate all conservatives like they are the second embodiment of satan.

I don't care you voted for, I'll treat you just as well as you treat me.
