To be clear, I’m not American either. I just think that centrism reads as a lack of any principles. Especially when one side is blatantly anti-democracy.
More parties would obviously be better but that’s a difficult task to surmount.
Seems to me that both parties have riled up their supporters against each other so much that the best way to remain in the status quo is to make it such that the voters believe that voting for anything other than the two main parties is too dangerous, because every vote counts, or the opposition wins.
It seems to me pretty sad. They both play golf together and party in the weekends and yell at each other in front of the cameras, while they laugh all the way to the bank. Both parties are bad. Seems to me like controlled opposition to remain in power and to not rock the boat, made possible through the American news media. It works like hell, too!
You’re giving the perfect example of the centrist mindset. I’ve followed American bills and laws being passed in the past four years and there is an objectively correct opinion on which side is better for the wellbeing of the people.
Republicans are constantly trying to repeal laws of bodily autonomy and workers rights. They are pushing for ways to gerrymander and make voting more difficult in Democrat areas. They have to rely on riling up their base with lies and fear-mongering because it’s all they have.
The democrats are more of a mixed bag but they are at least doing some things that actually help and improve the lives of the average person instead of actively doing the opposite.
But that doesn’t fit within the centrist framework because they are just too smart
Its not that we are smarter, its just that we notice theyre good friends outside of work, and the worst of enemies when they are in front of the cameras, save for the hot mics surprises, it is pretty obvious that they need one another.
I for one, had a hard time not to laugh when vice president Harris said that those attempting to come in to America illegalt should just turn around.
Theyre both the same shit but with a different bad flavour.
Also, when they do not want to abstain from a vote, when they do not want to vote yay or nay, because what you need to vote goes against the promise you made your voters? Why not just… Not show up :))) They can criticize you but not hold it against you.
Anybody that think it is about morals and not money, I do not know what to tell you. Just look at the American wars
