Oh no
most are lefties
What is a radical centrist?
They cannot be debated
these days not being a rabid SJW makes you a centrist
they're just going against the further lefties
JBP's advice only works if you ignore political tides.
everything has shifted so far left that old labels don't often fit
JBPs advice doesn't work when you the pure evil this circus ended up being
centralism = utilitarianism as a first principle
He doesn't want a leftist judge in his place. He doesn't understand the political smear machine that Kavanagh is against
centrALism
especially when it is both Ford and Kavanaugh that are pawns in the bigger battle for power
He doesn't understand the gravity of the midterm election
He apparently doesn't understand the significance to the left of SCOTUS tipping conservative.
Keep in mind, Canada has lefty candidate VS leftier candidate.
Centrism isn't really its own separate set of ideas as it is a catch-all category for people who are more or less split on how much power they want the government to have
This circus, btw, is the best thing that Trump could have ever hoped for
Scooby, that's wrong.
Centrists generally follow principle over party
Not Libertarian vs Conservative
Correct
It's possible there'd be weaker resistance to Trump's next pick since SCOTUS would already be majority conservative.
doubtful
it'll be even worse
centrists are people that agree and disagree with both the left and the right depending on the topic.

centrists are more practical than idealigical
The whole 'le indecisive fencesitter' meme comes from centrists being thrown in with in with uninitiated independents
I don't think it's fair to say that only centrists adhere to principles instead of toeing the party line
its more fair to say that than ever
Most centralists tend to be utilitarian
Generally centrists are found towing a party line in a lot of ways.
if you have principles you are most likely a centrist... why? because both left and right have fucking idiotic ideas.
I'm a hard centrist, but I use the republican party to advocate what I want

Cenrist just take this fallacy to next level.
I can see RBG quitting as soon as the reality sets in that she'll die before she ever writes another majority opinion.
You can't both value principle over party AND tow the party line
