    Really, I think centrist normally just means totally uninformed. They’ve buried their head in the sand so they don’t realize what’s wrong.

      Centrist means you’re too embarrassed to admit you’re a republican.

        You know, some people have some sort of nuanced opinions instead of just picking a colour. Maybe if everything weren’t such a fucking battle between the 51% and the 49%, maybe you wouldn’t end up with the least capable candidates from either side.

          Sure. I have a more nuanced opinion too. The fact is that we have two conservative parties, but there’s a lot of good options to the left. A centrist (in the US) has seen everything that’s been done by the conservatives and still somehow isn’t further left (or right if you agree with the crazy shit) of our conservative parties. There’s plenty of nuance to be had, but it isn’t in the center of the two parties.

          I know people who only admit to voting Republican because they make enough money to have a vested interest in Republican tax cuts. Get a couple glasses of wine into those people and they’ll start exposing their “nuanced opinions” like how much they hate the gays.

          If your nuanced opinions still motivate you to vote republican, you’re still a piece of shit.
