Ah yes, the classical "you're either with us or against us"

This is false.

I feel like most people here are american, which would explain this point of view

If libs take the stance that you're either fully on my team or you're my enemy then it's going to be a long time until you win some elections and have the ability to make real policy. Democracy is about compromise and appealing to as many voters as possible. Truth is whomever gets the independents wins the elections in the USA, everything else is just noise and excuses.

As a centrist, I approve with this message. An actual centrist does not compromise with nazis.

Not necessarily. I also think that both sides extremes are absolutely awful.

The difference is that us "real" "both-siders" realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.

lovely flat comparison that only accepts this precise present moment as the only context.

Never mind that the Democrats today are the George W. Bush neo-cons of twenty years ago. Or that the precedent laid down by the Bush admin - and subsequently renewed and strengthened by the Obama admin - are the same legal standards Trump and ICE are now claiming cover under.

Yes, well.....when you've been indoctrinated by the internet the majority of your adult life, you (totally unironically /s) view anyone that doesn't align exactly with your world view as a Totalitarian.

I would say it's a problem, but at least it keeps you all in a centralized bubble that allows you to believe "we are the majority!!", without actually impacting the real world.

What if I'm a centrist insisting both sides are garbage?
