Centrist is picking and choosing from each side, not doing a little of everything.

I’m also picking and choosing from each side, which is why I’m a leftist. Does that make me a centrist?

Right: Let’s cut off our Dicks.

Left: Let’s not cut off our Dicks.

Center: Guys, your going to have to compromise, let’s just do some dick cutting.

Right: I guess I can live with that for now.

Left: No.

Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh

That’s not what centrism means. It’s not an immediate compromise between the two. It’s acknowledging that not every single stance held by a political party is the correct one.

I can support background checks and other limitations on firearm purchases, and also not want open borders. We should be doing something about the excess of gun violence, and we should be doing something about the thousands of immigrants jumping our border.

Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.

To be fair, the situation in Gaza isn’t new and was probably the same in 2018

Sure but by that logic anything anybody ever said during my entire lifetime could be a reference to Gaza.

Right?! When I posted it, I was making a statement about enlightened centrism and not even thinking about the Gaza situation. Instead of genocide you can insert any morally abhorrent thing that should not be tolerated. But I get why people think it’s related, it’s on everyone’s mind. Thank you for noticing though.

I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this kind of discussion in regards to Gaza.
The knee-jerk reactions in this threat are quite telling.
