    That’s where you and I differ I suppose. If you waste your time, that’s on you. I’d much rather talk to someone who’s at least open to a concept than a conservative that says “No, and actually I’m gonna vote for the exact opposite”

      I think we differ in that you take these people at face value. Let me know if you ever find a centrist who walks the walk.

          No you don’t. If they walked the walk they wouldn’t be centrists, would they?

          You’re ascribing their centrism to ignorance, I don’t really care if it’s that, or avarice, or any other motivation. If you’re a centrist then by definition you’re in the middle, you find more or less equal fault with both the left and the right. You find virtue more or less equally in the positions of both progressives and MAGA. Think about that for a minute in the context of everything that’s going on in the world.

          Yes, these people are assholes.

            Whatever you say buddy, you can’t learn anything if you start with your conclusions and twist facts to justify them. You’ve made up your mind, and the left will continue to suffer because of you and the leftists like you. Maybe consider talking to people in real life instead of circle-jerking in radical online spaces. Real people are not the caricatures you make them out to be.

              There it is.

              Maybe consider talking to people in real life instead of circle-jerking in radical online spaces.

              And with a side of patronizing asshole too. Good job my centrist friend.

                Wrong, I’m a leftist. I’m just not a leftist who has to feel edgy by painting everyone who isn’t left enough as an asshole. It’s counterproductive thought-terminating nonsense and I’m tired of seeing it from others on the left.

                You’ve self-righteously decided that when you’re a patronizing asshole, you’re just speaking uncomfortable truth to power, and the real assholes are everyone who doesn’t have your exact political positions. This isn’t the way bud.
