Centrism just means you don't give a f*** about the society around you and think that somehow makes you smarter than everyone else

Being centre is the safe option. Nothing progresses in the centre. Its just the status quo. Progress is ugly and not done by committee. Sometimes it goes too far right and sometimes too far left and then we usually come up with a consensus.

And others before with similar comments.... This isn't the thread to argue about this so I won't say much more but in my opinion it means you don't want to turn politics into a sports contest, my team vs our team, black vs white, all or nothing, and that you try to make your own opinions, listen to all perspectives, and think about your stance. Honestly the world would probably be better if more people took that approach. The bipartisan war in America is not helping anything at all and has turned politics into a mess. IMO a wise person should be willing to step across the aisle if its the right thing to do, if the other side has a good argument, or at least be critical of their own party and actually listen to issues instead of just forming their decision on left vs right. There are bad extremes in each party and its ok to disagree with those. If we had a congress full of centrists we'd probably move far forward in terms of actually taking decisions that will benefit all americans
