ThyCorndog 08/05/20 8:12:47 PM #48:	fyi, the definition of centrist as someone who mostly agrees with one side but doesn't totally fall in line with that side is a dumb one literally 99% of people would be centrists then. there's always one or two issues that people on both the left and right are a bit lax on --- https://imgur.com/6cPXvLN https://imgur.com/hVC4i6j <cite>ThyCorndog posted [p:943038140] in Why are yo...

Because I'd rather not fall for the Golden Mean Fallacy. Because fighting for the political status quo always benefits conservatives. Because I'd rather stand for something than stand for nothing. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:943038180] in Why are yo...
