I’m a centrist who believes there are many sides. Middle is not necessarily the best place to be. Each issues requires careful consideration. I also don’t think compromise is necessary when one side is clearly wrong. For example, we don’t need to hear from climate change deniers or people who think other humans shouldn’t have body autonomy.

I dislike the two-party system in the United States and wish we had more parties. We need things like Ranked Choice and Star voting methods to combat the two-party bullshit that’s forced down our throats. It feels like we’re constantly having to choose the lesser evil with the two party system.

Serious question: how can you call yourself a centrist if the things you say you want are extreme left of the center?

Because I also have beliefs that are to the right of the center.

For example, I think the left takes “reverse racism” way too far and it results in racist policies e.g. Asian kids having a hard time getting into college. Perhaps we should be looking at more intelligent metrics like the wealth of the family rather than solely looking at someone’s skin color.

You just sound like a non-insane leftist. There’s still a few of us.

None of those policies are “left”

Which leftist policies do you align with?

None of those are “extreme” left of center, at least today.
