The problem is no one on either end can be convinced they are approaching insanity. Both sides think they are the reasonable ones and that the other side is insane.
^Care for elders? Monsters, commie monsters!!!!
“There are fine plots on both sides”
No offense to centrists who think their position through.
Centrists hold serious convictions and beliefs, they just don’t all belong to the same camp. Also, they are more goal-oriented and recognize that implementation is the most important thing
No they don't. Centrists like McCain, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Romney etc all chose their political opinions during their campaigns by focus groups and consultants who told them what polls well.
The bell distribution curve would show a way higher percentage of far right to be at or over the edge of insanity

Outside the graph, to the left (or right, at that point who cares)
Interesting that there are postgrads with such views.
I don’t know, I’m pretty far left but never thought to do something as damaging as invading Iraq (twice) and Afghanistan, passing things like 3-strikes laws and dumping huge numbers of people in US prisons/courts, bail out Wall Street while people lost their homes, like centrists politicians have. (I know the meme’s just a joke, but there’s often a conflation of political moderates with moderate in temperament or action that I don’t think holds up... well maybe the temperament part does idk 😀)
One thing that a lot of people need to understand is that centrism is not apolitical and a news source/opinion piece/politician/pundit's trustworthiness is not a function of how much they deviate from the center.

This false equivalency thing is getting really old.
In what regard? I don't think calling far left and far right both insane means they saying they are equivalent. Steve Bannon, Domald Trimp, are FAR worse than Democratic socialists. It's not even close. Fwiw, I consider myself on the left. But many conservatives tell me I'm part of antifa, while some on the left tell me I'm a "worthless corporate sellout" because I don't believe eradicating capitalism and corporations is the answer to ending racism. We're in strange times.
The reason both sides aren't equivalent is because one side pretends racism and sexism don't even exist.
