Well someone is gargling elons cock, and it's not lefties. So you figure out the math and that's who they're talking about.
"centrists"
Is a centrist anyone who says "I'm not into politics but (right wing propaganda)" because that's unironically been my experience so far.
Yup
I'm not into politics, but I think everyone should deserve human rights regardless of race, gender or sexuality.
And I'm a centrist. Fuck you guys who only pick and choose specific examples to paint us as right wingers.
If that's the only issue you vote on, then you've never voted for a republican, but I don't think that's the case.
And I've never voted Republican lmao.
Depends. I'm centrist but a bit left-leaning and I fucking hate Musk.
O am not personally affiliated with any party but will be voting Democrat, as it seems, for the rest of my time here.
That and anyone who explains to the left that they too would like a better nominee, but we can figure that out after this crucial election cycle...during every election cycle for their entire life, which are the only times they discuss politics.
Oh look, wildly left wing people deriding centrists as far right. Weird.
Nobody said anything about FAR right. In fact, you're the one who's characterizing people as extremists for disagreeing with you, a typical centrist move.
Nice try. Go be facetious somewhere else.
Nah, I'm fine right here. You can go be devoid of ideals elsewhere.
Fucking liar and stupid too
Yeah, you are. Another couple of traits common amongst centrists.
You deserve to live under communism.
Aww, that's adorable, but that's not the burn you think it is lol.
If anyone ever actually achieved communism, it would be much better than most if not all government forms tried so far. Alas, that'll probably never happen as it seems to inevitably turn into a hyperauthoritarian and unequal oligarchy.
Thanks for wishing the real thing on me even though I pointed out your centrist shortcomings, though!
Oh look "it wasn't real communism". Moron
It literally wasn't. Do you always believe authoritarian rulers when they self-describe how they govern?
Bottom line is that communism is by definition the rule of everyone, not an authoritarian one party system.
Dude, you haven't even read the theory papers behind the system you're promoting, you just made that very, very clear and I bet you don't even know why.
Compared to any other western country, American centrists are far right. Republicans are off the map.
Sometimes people make it really plain they've never travelled.
I suppose my instinctive reaction isn't to assume someone's politics would determine how they react to Musk.
My first real assumption would be that tech/engineering types are the only ones who'd really think about him at all (in both directions). Like, I do have an uncle who occasionally brings him up whenever theirs news on SpaceX's rockets (though usually this gets brought up in the context of "new technology sucks" and "what was wrong with the rockets that carried up Voyager" and such).
So yeah, I really don't think I'd describe anyone as "gargling Elon's cock" except those who still have good will for Tesla.
