Honestly I try to be centrist but I lean a little left. I think socialized healthcare is good thing, but I think it should be run at the state level cause each state will have different needs. I think bodily autonomy should be a right for everyone. I think that there should be a limit on millionaires. Hell I think they should put a limit on CEOs too like you can only earn x times the lowest paid employee. I think gun crime is an issue but I think focusing on the tool used instead of the socioeconomic, mental, and societal factors is a mistake. I want us to do something about or deficit but both parties seem intent to just spend spend spend these days. And I definitely don’t think attacking others over their beliefs or sexual orientation, is OK. If I had to choose a party I’d say I lean more towards the Democrats
There’s your problem right there: if you try to mold your principles to fit a false narrative of “the middle point is always rational”, you’re going to risk developing some highly irrational ideas, such as thinking that fascism is normal conservatism and it’s calling it out that’s abnormal.

Or such as thinking that the politicians in charge of states like Mississippi, Texas or Delaware** are honest and always put the needs of the majority of the people over the wants of rich donors.

Or such as thinking that the many other causes of violent crime (all of which need to be addressed, of course) aren’t greatly exacerbated by guns being easier to access than health care, voting, or library books that acknowledge the existence and value of minority groups.
I want us to do something about or deficit but both parties seem intent to just spend spend spend these days
Or thinking that the deficit and how much political funding happens matters anywhere near as much as WHAT’S being funded
** Delaware is the most corporation-friendly of all the states. That’s why almost all of them are registered there regardless of where they’re actually based.
