    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.

      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 look, wildly left wing people deriding centrists as far right. Weird.

        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.

                    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.
