What’s the best that should we take from the far right?
It’s an ideological desert over there once you look past the race supremacy, inevitable oligarchy and people dying if they don’t spend enough of their time struggling to survive. It’s literally just psychopathic power grabbing when you really distill it down.
If any of that sounds good to you, I’m not interested in the world you want.
Support for centrism is either complete political ignorance, or looking at that desert and thinking “I think we need some of that shit over here”

“Best of both worlds” doesn’t literally mean expressing everything on a numeric scale and averaging it out.

Nothing. And neither should we take anything from the far left. It’s the moderates that have good ideas.

Okay, humour me then, I’m clearly the ignorant one here.
Let’s pretend that this centre which pulls from both sides is completely uninfluenced by the extremes somehow.
What’s good about the not-quite-so-right that’s unique compared against the far right then?
What’s good about the not-quite-so-left that’s unique from the far left?
Do these things marry up in a way that’s not entirely ideologically bankrupt in the dissonance required?
