Oh no

2018-10-06 15:58:28 UTC  

most are lefties

2018-10-06 15:58:29 UTC  

What is a radical centrist?

2018-10-06 15:58:40 UTC  

@Mana One who is always right

2018-10-06 15:58:45 UTC  

They cannot be debated

2018-10-06 15:58:45 UTC  

these days not being a rabid SJW makes you a centrist

2018-10-06 15:58:46 UTC  

they're just going against the further lefties

2018-10-06 15:59:02 UTC  

JBP's advice only works if you ignore political tides.

2018-10-06 15:59:11 UTC  

everything has shifted so far left that old labels don't often fit

2018-10-06 15:59:27 UTC  

JBPs advice doesn't work when you the pure evil this circus ended up being

2018-10-06 15:59:38 UTC  

centralism = utilitarianism as a first principle

2018-10-06 15:59:48 UTC  

He doesn't want a leftist judge in his place. He doesn't understand the political smear machine that Kavanagh is against

2018-10-06 15:59:49 UTC  

centrALism

2018-10-06 16:00:11 UTC  

especially when it is both Ford and Kavanaugh that are pawns in the bigger battle for power

2018-10-06 16:00:25 UTC  

He doesn't understand the gravity of the midterm election

2018-10-06 16:00:47 UTC  

He apparently doesn't understand the significance to the left of SCOTUS tipping conservative.

2018-10-06 16:00:50 UTC  

Keep in mind, Canada has lefty candidate VS leftier candidate.

2018-10-06 16:00:52 UTC  

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

2018-10-06 16:01:03 UTC  

This circus, btw, is the best thing that Trump could have ever hoped for

2018-10-06 16:01:46 UTC  

Scooby, that's wrong.

2018-10-06 16:02:07 UTC  

I'm talking super generalized here

2018-10-06 16:02:11 UTC  

Centrists generally follow principle over party

2018-10-06 16:02:15 UTC  

Not Libertarian vs Conservative

2018-10-06 16:02:30 UTC  

Correct

2018-10-06 16:02:37 UTC  

It's possible there'd be weaker resistance to Trump's next pick since SCOTUS would already be majority conservative.

2018-10-06 16:02:48 UTC  

doubtful

2018-10-06 16:02:50 UTC  

it'll be even worse

2018-10-06 16:02:55 UTC  

centrists are people that agree and disagree with both the left and the right depending on the topic.

2018-10-06 16:03:00 UTC

2018-10-06 16:03:23 UTC  

centrists are more practical than idealigical

2018-10-06 16:03:27 UTC  

The whole 'le indecisive fencesitter' meme comes from centrists being thrown in with in with uninitiated independents

2018-10-06 16:03:27 UTC  

I don't think it's fair to say that only centrists adhere to principles instead of toeing the party line

2018-10-06 16:03:40 UTC  

its more fair to say that than ever

2018-10-06 16:03:42 UTC  

Most centralists tend to be utilitarian

2018-10-06 16:04:12 UTC  

Generally centrists are found towing a party line in a lot of ways.

2018-10-06 16:04:35 UTC  

if you have principles you are most likely a centrist... why? because both left and right have fucking idiotic ideas.

2018-10-06 16:04:42 UTC  

I'm a hard centrist, but I use the republican party to advocate what I want

2018-10-06 16:04:44 UTC

Cenrist just take this fallacy to next level.

2018-10-06 16:04:58 UTC  

I can see RBG quitting as soon as the reality sets in that she'll die before she ever writes another majority opinion.

2018-10-06 16:05:12 UTC  

You can't both value principle over party AND tow the party line
