How do you feel about the centrist movement?

[YeshuaRedeemed]

A centrist is someone who is a political moderate. Centrists try to build bridges between two opposing parties. I am a centrist. I am fiscally and socially moderate. This is my request to staff for a centrist section, as I feel like a liar in the other political sections. There might be other centrists who want a section, so that is why I am asking. Thank you kindly.

In my country the dichotomy right\left is obsolete; there is a great divide between souverainists (aka Nationalists) and globalists.
The first want to reduce the tyranny of the banking system and the markets, the second are colluded with them.

Heh...can I guess which side you're on, based on your descriptions of them??

lol....

I'm with you here. I too am a moderate and don't completely fit in on either side, but see value in some ideas that both share. Yes, think a centrist section would be worth a try.

Thank you. I would try the libertarians, but believe in a moderate centralized government, and balanced economy.

Funny. I'm a centrist but don't want a separate section. It seems contrary. Just talk about politics in an open forum.

Please note, just my personal opinion, not a staff position.

It is a difficult call, isn't it?

Or by another perspective, the first cling to pointless, destructive fantasy. The second do not.

How do you figure out who is a centrist in an age when the majority of the American public is to the left of the politicians?

For instance, my views mostly align with the majority of the American people. That would make me a true centrist -- but Fox and the rest of the far right think I'm an extreme leftist.

It's tough. Further complications surround social versus economic issues. I'm more progressive on social issues, more centrist in economics.

I wouldn't worry about what the far right thinks of you, they are not the sort of people anyone should listen to for any reason, period. They are deletrious regressive and basically, ignorant.

You would be described as a left leaning centrist over here.

Left leaning centrists are basically the kind of voters every democratic nation urgently needs to step up and block the hard left and far right extremists, preventing them from causing utter havoc.

Just using them to illustrate my point. Not saying their opinion matters.

Yeah I know, I was just using the opportunity to get a 'dig' in at the far right.

Yes, fighting the International banking system is destructive for two or three dynasties, but not for the people of a nation.

Craven mugwumps!

Just in case there is any doubt, that is not what worries me. Nations as such are barely real, after all... nor am I interesed in safeguarding any banks.
