    at the end of the day, we have to be united or there is only war and violence forever.

    centrists only want to unite with republicans. They only want to oppose the left.

      You don’t have to be a centrist to be able to work with people whose priorities are not the same as your own. Most modern democracies actually have fairly healthy cooperation between different political parties who are quite far apart on the issues that matter the most to them.

        Democrats spent a year supporting a genocide. How much further to the right do you want them to go?

        As though there’s a limit.

          You seem to be having a different argument to me. Are you abandoning politics altogether then?

          I want to see an alternative to the big two as much as anyone. We don’t get there through opting out of civic participation.

          Armed revolution i.e. civil war will likewise just be a disster. Countless deaths and decades of chaos aren’t worth a possibility of something that might be better, if there is any alternative.
