I just noticed that one of the news communities here discourage the use of least biased/centrist news sources and I saw some people who put that they hate centrists in their bios.
All is that is kind of weird to me and does not make sense, as I thought that all sides should encourage ideas from centrists and least biased sources.
Is there is something that I miss here?
As a (roughly) centrist myself, I don’t think they hate us. They just see us as an obstacle to progress. Which we are, but we’re also an obstacle to backsliding. Even from within it’s easy to see that centrism is a weak position and it’s not surprising it would be despised by those with strong convictions.
But me, I’m fine with being an obstacle. If they think their way is better, they can prove it; then they’ll have my support.
Everywhere except reality…
Centrists turn off Dem voters allowing Republicans to take office and fuck shit up.
If Hillary hadn’t literally taken over the DNC in the primary to ensure she won, trump would still be a failed reality TV show host who ran a hilariously inept presidential campaign 8 years ago
Centrist bullshit has real life consequences even if you refuse to acknowledge them.
An obstacle to backsliding? In what way? Look around the western world: right-wing governments everywhere, voted in by centrists and the conservatives that profit from fooling them with easily digestible status quo ideals.
