The reason people say that is because a lot of the time these centrist people just vote Republican every time. They're not really independent and as much as they say they don't fully agree with people like Trump they keep voting for him despite everything he's done.

I've always been curious to when people will realize that voting Republican or Democrat is really the same thing. They both grow government, one side just happens to want to take away a particular set of liberties while the other side wishes to take a different set. In the end nothing changes because we're too scared to vote for a candidate who actually cares because they have "no chance of winning."

This was obvious ten years ago, I thought the internet would have caught on by now. Perhaps not though, because since they're so similar they HATE one another because they really dislike that they have many of the same views so the ones they differ on are so extremely upgraded in importance.

Note: I know I'm not the first or only one to figure this out, plenty of people realize this, so no offense to you. I'm just surprised the truth is such a niche category online, in-person, in the media, etc...

This "truth" hasn't caught on because it's complete bullshit. What set of liberties does left want to take?

If this isn't a joke, and you're on the left. Then learn the values of your own party.
