Conservatives frequently refer to themselves as centrists or neither. In the U.S., it is obvious someone is a right wing asshat if they claim to be centrist or neither.

If they were really centrist they'd vote democrat anyway, as that's the centrist party.

Many leftists also vote democrat. Lesser of two evils, a two party system, no ranked choice voting, etc. etc. etc. etc.

More accurately, I would say these types react to someone criticizing the status quo, which is typically right wing. These types are usually sheltered white guys who have had very few problems with the status quo because, well, they're white men.

People that claim themselves to be centrists in this economy, are either plain stupid or republicunts in disguise.

Yes, they are not mutually exclusive.

In Spain, when someone says "I'm neither left or right", that person is on the right, most of the time (if not always).

Yeah, same in America most of the time. Funny it's often the right-wing that wants to pretend that they are "center" and/or are too afraid to say they are right-wing. It's like they know...

Also centrists are just people who like the status quo which always benefits the people in power.

"I don't like the Right or the Left!" only criticizes the Left

Saw an old lady nearly shit herself with rage when Biden came on the news. Who was she bitching about? Hunter

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Hunter doesn't have a position in our Government, so who cares what he does?
