Self-proclaimed centrist portion of independents 32% of voters.
I don’t think centrists are as right wing as is commonly claimed here. If they were, the Democrats would never, ever win any election, ever. So… kinda silly
They are not the same thing. That’s why we have two different words with two different meanings.
All independents are not centrists, but all centrists are independents (in the USA).
Regardless, whether independents OR centrists, they both outnumber Democrats, and you require their votes to win any election.
Maybe… just maybe… it’s in your best interests to not insult them?
But you do you, I do think it’s funny to watch Lemmings spite themselves repeatedly, every single day I see them cut off their nose to spite their face. Thank you

Well now you said two wildly inaccurate things in this comment chain. First you, yes you, conflated centrists with independents. Now this wildly inaccurate comment. Just making shit up left and right.
Lol right! These fucking morons… They’re either far left and think picking fights with the center is somehow the way to forward for their cause (seems just because you’ve read Marx doesn’t mean your IQ jumps above 80).
Or, they’re psy-op from the right, trying to collect centrists to the right (This would be the higher IQ move out if the 2 options).
Remember when the Democrats increased funding to ICE? Remember when the Democrats had the Republicans against the rope on the budget, and folded for no reason? Remember when Biden broke a bunch of laws to help Trump build out the border wall? Remember when Obama expanded Bush’s policies on torture, kidnapping, and deportation? Remember when the Democrats had the chance to put Trump in prison, but chose not to? Remember when Obama rebranded Romney-care as Obama-care?
Internet forums are not where the truth lives.
You are correct. Thats why I don’t expect Libs to know what the truth is.
I have a hard time believing that the left, eating their own, is a path back to power. You’re just gonna annoy people, drive them away, and depress your voter turnout; a surefire way to make sure the right remain in power.
So those that participate in trashing the left or center, every time a politician does not deliver 100% of a wishlist (if they are voting eligible “Americans”) must be either stupid, or elephants in donkey costumes.
I mean what’s the in-between? Folks who studied Socialism and Communism but never studied how to fucking win something?.. maybe.
Or I suppose I can concede, you all far lefties are a separate faction, trying to make inroad to capture power over the rest of the left, as they see that is their only path to power.
Still kinda dumb too, as while it may be the only play, it just wouldn’t happen, and is a waste of effort.
You want to threaten and use any leverage against the left to effect policy? Well that is pretty useless while they don’t have power. So ya better get on the support train first - whinge later, program.
I have a hard time believing that the left, eating their own, is a path back to power.
But you think that the right, sacrificing the left, is a way to get leftists in power? That doesn’t seem to make much sense to me.
You’re just gonna annoy people, drive them away, and depress your voter turnout…
The thing that the Democrats keep doing?

Who said anything about 100% ? I’d be OK with a lot less, yet the Democrats can’t even get that much.
(if they are voting eligible “Americans”)
Holy racism, Batman!?! Could you be more overt?
I mean what’s the in-between? Folks who studied Socialism and Communism but never studied how to fucking win something?.. maybe.
What I’ve studied, is Democrats openly failing to deliver even the basics of what their voters want. Remember when “Genocide is bad”, or “The economy is bad”, or “Torture is bad” was on the ballot, and the Democratic leadership couldn’t even stomach that little?
Or I suppose I can concede, you all far lefties are a separate faction, trying to make inroad to capture power over the rest of the left, as they see that is their only path to power.
So you think that supporting basic human rights, and equality for all is “far left”?
Still kinda dumb too, as while it may be the only play, it just wouldn’t happen, and is a waste of effort.
And yet you think that voting in support of genocidists, rapits, and fascists supporters, is not a wasted effort?
You want to threaten and use any leverage against the left to effect policy?
“against the left” ? I’m not even sure what you mean by that. I’m explictly against the right. What have I said that is “against the left” ?
Well that is pretty useless while they don’t have power.
I also don’t understand this. I’m trying to stop the coopting of the left by Democrats. How is supporting the coopting-of-the-left going to give the left more power?
Why wouldn’t democrats win if centrists are as right wing as we think? The democrats are also as right wing as I think outside of a handful of progressives.
Democrats 28% of voters
Republicans 28% of voters
Independents 44% of voters

Math is mean to you
The democrats are right wing.
This is a complete and utter misrepresentation of independents to the point it should be considered an outright lie.
Ha, no. This is absolutely a fact.
Please don’t misrepresent what I present, that’s deliberately deceptive. You’re wrong.
Pew Research, check it out. I was generous with the stats (some sources say over 40% are centrist in USA)
https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/fact-sheet/party-affiliation-fact-sheet-npors/
I eagerly await your source
Difficulty: It cannot be your imagination
I think his point was you’re completely conflating the term independent and Centrist. Which is absolutely not the same thing.
It’s not my conflation.

You can be:
Neither of those is inclusive, or exclusive, of the other
You think they understand all those big words?
You’re arguing with a notorious divisionist. There not here to debate in good faith.
Great argument
Lol right! These fucking morons… They’re either far left and think picking fights with the center is somehow the way to forward for their cause (seems just because you’ve read Marx doesn’t mean your IQ jumps above 80). Or, they’re psy-op from the right, trying to collect centrists to the right (This would be the higher IQ move out if the 2 options).
Ah, yes, the people who actually oppose the right are a psy-op. But the Democrats, who constantly support the right, are the real opposition party.
Big brain thinking at it’s best.
“Democrats that support the right.”
Lol.
Go. The. Fuck. Outside. Sometime.
Internet forums are not where the truth lives.
What are some leftist policies the democratic leadership is pushing for?
Why you asking?
Because there are none. Can you name any?

Seriously, sometimes I think they are doing this just for laughs. It is definitely entertaining
They’re doing it because they afe the opposition. They’re divisionists. They are here to upset the midterms. They did the same shit in 24.
Your opinions are so shit you even get down voted in liberal spaces, lmfao.
You’d be the expert on that.
Why wouldn’t democrats win if centrists are as right wing as we think? The democrats are also as right wing as I think outside of a handful of progressives.
Then your divide between right and left doesn’t conform to reality. The GOP and DNC are night and day difference.
