Please describe someone who could be considered neither left nor right. Is it possible you are viewing the absence of left-wing qualities as being right-wing?

Economically I'm leaning right - I want the state to provide free healthcare, schools, universities etc but founding a company has to be easier, we can't afford to keep pouring 1/3 of our yearly budget into pensions on top of the budget for pensions etc.

Socially I'm leaning left - I don't care at all if someone is trans, homosexual, whatever, and want men and women to have equal rights.

So I am neither left or right. And there also is a party that aligns with most of my beliefs (and is against some others but there never is a perfect party).

The issue is that internet politics are often viewed from a USA-centric standpoint. When I say I'm neither left nor right (because it depends on the topic, as explained above) I see memes like that come up. Although my economically right views for my country would be far left from an US-american standpoint anyway.

You're right wing. Just not a bigot.

Oh, it's about the American political system. Well it's broken anyways, so that explains the many comments lacking any nuances.

Is the political system broken, or are the citizens on the hook for electing genociders?

You only get to choose one, I'm afraid.
