That's not why we are centrists...it might have more to due with our two choices of geriatric patients who are in a steep mental decline.
You're centrist because the candidates representing two major political parties are old? So, if a young person showed up, you'd vote for them, regardless of their platform?
Possibly.
Nope, you're either with us completely, or you want genocide of everybody. There's no other nuisance here.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Either way, this is definitely the message that's being broadcasted on loop in a lot of places, especially here. On the surface it seems to be trying to convince swing voters to lean left. If that's the case, it very much misses the mark. I'm not positive that this is a US specific message, but that is my perspective.
I had a much longer rant typed out, but it wasn't terribly constructive. The long and short of it is that we have a lot of problems that need to be addressed in this world that have yet to even be acknowledged (and thus no solutions proposed) because they are being drowned out by the handful of arguments that are the most emotionally charged and thus, least productive to debate. Every election has been a "race to the bottom" and every year it starts earlier, lasts longer, and gets stupider. That is to say, there is no intellectual consideration whatsoever. It is no longer a discussion about governance, it is a cheerleading mantra for a sports team. The arguments are all emotionally charged and feel more like propaganda than discussion - this is what "both sides" are guilty of. The candidates don't even bother to show up to debates anymore, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have my opinion about who is the worst option, but that does nothing to convince someone looking for a reason to vote **for ** someone, not **against ** someone.
Lol...sure.
