    In a functioning political system both the “left” and “right” are competent and have good ideas.

    Who said midpoints from incompatible solutions? Thats unique US issue as we’ve already discussed and pointed out, in other countries and political systems, that’s what you would want, since they are combing good ideas, not 2+2=6 as you’re claiming. Yes that’s apparently what happens in US political, not in healthy democracies.

    Uh… yes it is, that’s why I would like for you to point to any other countries with these two party democracy issues.

    You seriously can’t see how calling people “left”, “right”, or “centrist” is insulting them? Is that how ingrained and indoctrinated this stuff is in US politics?

    It’s progressives and conservatives, the fact that you don’t even comprehend you’re refering to sides while using these insults and slurs to refer to political parties is quite frankly wild. You’re calling anyone who doesn’t agree with you politically names, I never mentioned in here dude lmfao, that makes you an ass. But yeah that shows your intent with this discussion, I’m gonna block you now instead.

      Why? The Left is correct regardless of where you are.

      Logic. The left and right aren’t incoherent groups of random positions from people genetically labeled “left” or “right.” If leftists want prison reform, privitizing prisons gets in the way of that and can make it worse.

      It doesn’t matter how many parties you have, centrism is still nonsense. This isn’t a two-party democracy issue. Having multiple leftist and multiple rightist parties doesn’t change that the midpoint is not inherently a good thing, and can make things worse by combining incompatible policies.

      You seriously can’t see how calling people “left”, “right”, or “centrist” is insulting them? Is that how ingrained and indoctrinated this stuff is in US politics?

      Nowhere are these considered insults inherently. Stop making this about the US. I’m a Communist, why would I be insulted by “left?”

        Calls out fascism “You just don’t agree with me politically”

        Right wingers never change. They pretend it’s just a small difference of ideas and not literal genocide their side is proposing.
