Will, they’re wrong. You’re right about “You are either with, or against” thing.

I say good for you.

Of course they are wrong. Anybody with a double digit IQ knows that it is wrong, yet I see it og so often.

Every American ‘centrist’ I’ve seen plays constant defence for the far right. Idk maybe it’s just a coincidence but I’m not the only one who’s noticed it

I have seen that a lot too, however there are many times where I have seen proper American centrists. My countries politics doesn’t align with yours, either side, but I suppose if I were to align myself anywhere in your political system, it would be a bit from the right, a bit from the left and disregard the rest. You need more than a 2 party system. 12 party system or something, I dont know.

To be clear, I’m not American either. I just think that centrism reads as a lack of any principles. Especially when one side is blatantly anti-democracy.
More parties would obviously be better but that’s a difficult task to surmount.

Seems to me that both parties have riled up their supporters against each other so much that the best way to remain in the status quo is to make it such that the voters believe that voting for anything other than the two main parties is too dangerous, because every vote counts, or the opposition wins.
It seems to me pretty sad. They both play golf together and party in the weekends and tell at each other in front of the cameras. Both parties are bad.
