Honestly I'd say this is bad faith, but you're claiming to be a centrist so this level of smug elitism about how worthless you are to literally everyone is on brand

Yes, I don't want you to operate under the assumption that you deserve respect in any way, shape, form or fashion so I figured I'd get straight to the point about how utterly worthless centrists are. Anything else I can clear up for you? I'd be happy to help as much as you need on this subject, I promise.

Of course, that's not ignorance, but you can try and slip the smug elitism in there again

As a centrist (possibly enlightened ?), what do you think of the recurrent thought pattern, often encountered on the left, of having said, back in 2020, Anything but Trump ! , and now that DJT is gone, turning it into Anything but DeSantis ! , as if it wasnt actually about Trump and commitment to principles in the end, but merely the trivial other side bad ?

That's not really how it works. I believe in compromise and realism regardless of party lines and that huge parts of the idea of partisan government need to be done away with or reformed.

I know all about Enlightened Centrism. I just wanted to mess with TC a bit and get them to admit to just being a conservative the whole time. Someone just skipped the line there.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That is a cornerstone of conservatism. Keeping the status quo for ones-self is the basis for a lot of the ideology. And the entirely thing is viewed as a zero sum game which means that the follow up of improving your life just comes at the cost of worsening someone else's.

Nope. CE is just so radically left that I tend to take up an attack position against that because of the horrifically ignorant shit that gets posted here. If there were any conservatives here posting stupid basement dweller shit I'd be giving them the same business. It doesn't matter that liberals have the moral high ground in a lot of these debates, it doesn't give CEmen an excuse to act like animals.

googs19 posted... What is the centerist view between liberals thinking trans people should have the same rights as everyone else, and conservatives thinking they shouldn't have any rights?
I don't think there is a "centrist view" since it's not really a concrete system. Also really disingenuous to imply all liberals think trans people should have equal rights and all conservatives think they should have no rights. That said, I think trans people should have all the rights they deserve. It's really none of my business what they do.

Hard to say. I don't really rank my opinions on the spectrum. I can't think of any tentpole conservative opinions. I generally like capitalism. For the liberal side, LGBT rights?

Making extremes amount of money in ways you know you're manipulating systems that oppress others just to afford egregious luxuries.

If you disagree, could you tell me what makes it ok?

I've gotten the same thing for saying I don't support either end. So, my questions aren't coming from that. Im genuinely curious how others who claim to not be loyal to either end feel about billionaires.

Admittedly Id be closer to a communist but in a not extreme way. I think people who do more should get more, I just don't think the difference in ends should be so extreme.

Like Lobbying? Yeah, I can agree with that. Like how turbo tax lobbies to not allow the govt to provide free tax software or whatever.
