Seems like the left don’t approve of common sense.
I’d rather have a politician who does absolutely nothing than a fascist.
Yes, this is how the two-pronged strategy works to ensure the working class never improves its standing.
Fascism only improves the standing of those on top.

But unfortunately not one that my fellow Americans seem to have appreciated.
They’re not political, they just wantt to see common sense policies on immigration (for brown people) and crime (for brown people).
Which is a shame because immigration can be one of the greatest boons to rural America.
Here “common sense” means incredibly harsh.
As a centrist, I approve with this message. An actual centrist does not compromise with nazis.
Do they compromise with the controlled opposition to Nazis?
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
I’ll grant you that this is very much an American sentiment currently, but it’s not exactly a purely tribal take when the centrist opinion is that sometimes Nazis can have good ideas.
I mean, a broken clock is right twice a day. If hitler was the first to implement a hand washing before and after patient interaction policy, would that be a bad idea? Or would it be a rare good idea from a genocidal maniac?
Or to pick more immediately pertinent examples, RFK is a an idiot, but he supports banning some food additives that are already banned elsewhere for good reasons, Trump is an idiot, but he wants to end daylight savings time. Both are good ideas, despite support from terrible people and being supported by those terrible people doesn’t make them suddenly terrible ideas.
No.
This is just the case on (yes American, make your own sites that would be nice) every intended forum.
Shit even my in laws say they are centrist, they don’t hold a single view that’s centrist. They vote down ticket republican their whole lives. This is a thing republicans do.

I voted a mixed ticket until 2016. Then straight blue until 2024, and only one exception in 2024 and she was was a city seat that I knew and could knock on her door and yell at in person if she did something I didn’t like.
this is a pretty typical actual centrist tendency. Most of the centrists I know have been voting blue (and loathing it). A decent number have, though, given up on that in favor of shtf.
The problem has been “vote mostly blue and hope they don’t alienate anyone too badly, because the right will take advantage of the alienated… oh, shit, they did it again.”
Eh it happens here in the UK too, ‘centre’ always seems to be ‘give the right wing half of what they want and the left wing nothing.’ which is really just right wing but slower.
You are the masked guy, pigjizzus.
You only wanted a little genocide in Gaza, you know, as a compromise. And then you lost.
You don’t deserve empathy from either side lmao
Also don’t get me started at all these asshole whining under every Gaza post that “aT leAst we doNt haVe kaMala /s i am very smart”
Usually it ends with “palestinian deserved it”.
Dang, I wish I could’ve seen what this comment says instead of having someone else decide for me.
I mean, a lot of them are tankies.
Every god damn time
You’re the right winger.
Dang, lots of censorship going on here.
When are we going to make communities that take moderation seriously and don’t just ban people because they feel like it?
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.
This would be all very well and good in principle, except that this assumption has now already been factored into mainstream Republican strategy. It’s now an everyday occurrence for them to say something absolutely outrageous based on the expectation that the “compromise” will be struck exactly where they want things to be.
them: “both sides bad” me: “republicans are bad indeed” them: 😠

It’s common sense from an outsider perspective that any organization that expects children to pledge allegiance to it 3000 times before adulthood is loaded with propaganda and the kids that graduate from that aren’t going to have proper common sense.
And just because other countries aren’t as obviously villainous about it doesn’t make their standardized textbooks and their corporate media (much of it imported from the propaganda empire above) that much less propagandistic.
So it’s common sense that common sense is tainted by decades of propaganda, and actually understanding something means unlearning what they taught you and looking with fresher eyes.
So you’re right, common sense is for chumps, and that’s just common sense.
Not anymore, no.
Both parties are banking on the hysteria of their constituencies to stay in power.
It works.
Seems like the right is retarded.
It’s not the 80s anymore. The correct term is that they are Ignorant, racist, bigots.
Yeah and it’s always the others who are toxic and populist, right?
I may be toxic and populist, depending on who you ask, but I’m not a right-winger hiding behind a thin curtain of ‘centrism’.
Social centrism ≠ traditional centrism
They aren’t that either.
