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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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?

Oh shut up. Fuck. Stop trying to gotcha someone. You sound like a turd that takes online political purity tests.

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