I would guess everyone has heard of Tim Pool, but maybe not. He has podcasts every day, and ends up with several hundred thousand views each day. He has never voted republican in his life, and was openly left/progressive but now is more of a centrist.
Link to video
This video he gets very angry and goes ballistic over what happened. I predict he will shortly be removed by Google.

I listen to him occasionally. I'd peg him a centrist.

BTW, the DA at first refused to charge, then bowed to pressure and brought charges to a Grand Jury, which returned a True Bill.

It should never have gone to a Grand Jury.
-
If we play by the Rules of the Left, every Grand Juror needs to be outed.
Lastly, if this stuff keeps up, sooner or later something will snap. And then regular citizens will chase these protesters down the street with guns and blood will run in the streets.
And this is so easy to prevent...New Orleans is a heavily Democratic city. Peaceful protests were ok, but when the Antifa types started to show up and a small amount of violence started, the lid was clamped shut. Hard.

Yes those who remain in the center these days as a practical exercise of choosing what to say out loud, are really only committed to appearing to be in the center. Taking a side is just coming to a conclusion about a complex problem, as Pool has done. It's ok to be incapable of thinking one's way to a conclusion, but I don't mistake that inability for a character strength.

Another great post, Horace. The last sentence I had to read a couple of times to get it. Yes, some people cannot think their way to a viable conclusion, and falsely think it shows some sort of wisdom or character strength to always try to be in the middle. Let me know if I got that wrong.

The political spectrum has way more than two "sides". The "left/right" thing is simply a misleading analogy.

Well it's the framework into which everything is forced in this two party system. Obviously the complexity feeding into that logical left/right funnel is infinite.

I understand that the two parties act as black holes, but I think it is not accurate that every position that isn't aligned to one of the parties hasn't been thought through to the end. There are many political philosophies and views on life that are coherent but not reflected by either party.

I would agree with that.

I was thinking the same thing but you said it better. Even if you chose the center, you are still making a choice. It is not the "binary" of two sides.

Regardless of where one's own detailed issue by issue preferences lie, one might be able to choose which of the two established sides is less onerous. I mean the presence of Donald Trump made that very preference into a no-brainer to millions of Americans with TDS. They chose the left. That sort of preference is what I'm talking about.

For that particular issue, no, the equivalence is facile. The right does not love Trump like the left hates him. I mean you can claim they do, if you'd like. I don't think it's worth discussing because the notion is ridiculous.
