Overall, weak-willed centrists are slowly losing the intraparty debate.

Hold the line, and have faith. We are in this together, and we will get through this together.

    Centrism doesn’t have tenants or foundational principles beyond being moderate. The notion that centrism can be a launching point for any position is just grifter propaganda. Being a centrist is a tacit admission that one doesn’t hold positions based on their individual merits but by their relative acceptance. It’s called the Golden Mean Fallacy but I prefer “4D Group Think”.

    Real Centrists are people like Tim Pool, Bill Maher, Cenk Uyger, etc.

        You have to understand, I consider all centrists closeted right wingers(grifters) or libertarian-adjacent levels of ignorant. In Tim Pools case he’s both. Bill Maher isn’t ignorant he’s just a right wing grifter.

        Centrism is fundamentally about pleasing as many people as possible. The grifters gospel.

        It doesn’t have tenants or principles with which you can qualify someone based on their stances because the stances of a centrist are fundamentally populist in nature.
