    Conservatives frequently refer to themselves as centrists or neither. In the U.S., it is obvious someone is a right wing asshat if they claim to be centrist or neither.

      If they were really centrist they’d vote democrat anyway, as that’s the centrist party.

      Many leftists also vote democrat. Lesser of two evils, a two party system, no ranked choice voting, etc. etc. etc. etc.

    People that claim themselves to be centrists in this economy, are either plain stupid or republicunts in disguise.

    Yes, they are not mutually exclusive.

    In Spain, when someone says “I’m neither left or right”, that person is on the right, most of the time (if not always).

      Yeah, same in America most of the time. Funny it’s often the right-wing that wants to pretend that they are “center” and/or are too afraid to say they are right-wing. It’s like they know…

      Also centrists are just people who like the status quo which always benefits the people in power.
