    It’s not my conflation.

    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.

      You can be:

      • independent and centrist
      • centrist and not independent
      • independent and not centrist

      Neither of those is inclusive, or exclusive, of the other
