Of course this sub is back. God.
Seriously. US "centrists" are right wing anywhere else. Also, cowards & apologists.
Overton window issues, i can believe that to be fair. I just still dont like anti-centrism
Partisans naturally hate centrists and independents and third partiers and the like.
It's impossible, at least if one has any real knowledge of politics, to genuinely support any party in and of itself, since they're all home to some significant number of grifters, zealots and megalomaniacs, so are all flawed to some notable extent. So the only way that a partisan can dependably argue in favor of their preferred party is as the alternative to an opposing party. And that only really works if theirs is thought to be the only alternative.
