Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

We got here because the center left is willing to move right to maintain decorum.
We were pushing for gay rights and Universal Healthcare in 2008. In 2024 both parties wanted to deport people and support genocide.
We are in a bad spot and being ideologically open to the right will be deadly.
You just accused everyone who sees political and economic pragmatism and flexibility of being willingly complicit in supporting deportations and genocide.

America is going down the same political route the uk did 10 years ago. The far right cements power while the left fractures itself.
Pretend political piety is the road to disaster.
Harris ran on "stronger border security" and continuing Bidens support of Israel.
How is it politically pragmatic to lose every branch of the government in one election? Seems like a losing platform to me.
I didn't accuse "everyone" by the way, I accused the politicians with those policies.
Maybe stop being a collaborator.
Yes
