Political Memes

Not necessarily. I also think that both sides extremes are absolutely awful.

The difference is that us "real" "both-siders" realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.

Lemmy being black or white like always. You can be a leftist, vote for the left and still recognize the flaws in your own parties and the good ideologies in the other…

I swear, the left usually calls itself open-minded, but as soon as someone on the right comes around, instead of trying to convince them with arguments, they are being called straight up evil russian bots. So what do they do, they go back to truth social, where they are well treated, and keep voting conservative.

The middleground between racism and not racism is 50% racism. That being said, they probably mean centrist in different topics. Blame two party system not the people.

I mean, I understand that this is like a very prevailing thing, but centrists exist. Especially in a modern political climate that is this polarized, being a centrist is unbelievably hard to explain to people. The left is convinced that they are very people first and very centrist and the right is convinced that they are very right and very populist.

I mean basically what I'm saying is that this actually emphasizes a problem and people just blindly agreeing with this is also a problem. I would venture to say that most people can't recognize an actual centrist as opposed to just immediately assuming them to be a right winger. This has happened for over 10 years in my daily life. Before Donald Trump even started running for president, in 2013, I had people accusing me of being either left-wing or right-wing, when in reality, I am very much a centrist. If I use any political buzzwords to identify myself whatsoever, I will then be put into a category that which does not properly define me. I despise the Democrats, I despise the Republicans, and I despise Donald J. Trump. I don't think anyone in the last 10 years in the entirety of this government has been worth even considering for my vote for president.

But who am I? I'm just one guy.

Please don't hate me for saying this. I just, I see this meme and I see the comments and I just think, wow, this must be a bunch of people who have experienced like, you know, those weird people who liked Trump but no longer like Trump. My point is that like people continue to say that there's no such thing as a centrist and I'm not saying that you people are saying that I'm saying that that is a prevailing idea and I'm sick and tired of it and this meme and your comments very much seem to perpetuate that.

Anyway, I'm done. I hate politics because it's terrible. There's nothing and no one to vote for. No cause to get behind that will ever truly fix it just by voting. Get active in your community, physically, and improve things on a city-wide level. And then if a ton of people do that, we'll actually see change. That is if these tariffs don't literally destroy our entire economy. #AmericaisrecessionproofsolongaswethreatentheFederalReserve

I may be left leaning, but I am also afraid of giving voters more power over the economy. Everything we do in housing, which is something people do have a high degree of control, is screwed up. People also want a huge amount of social programs but low taxes.

this is very convenient this just means im always correct because everything else is just a right winger as if that's argument.
