    Centrists do exist and will always exist. Regardless how bad or good things are.

    The problems is both sides have at least 1 great and 1 terrible policy or stance.

    We need more sizeable parties options, or at least vote for them.

    That way people can vote for parties that best fits them.

    Note: voting for the lesser of two evils, won’t solve the problem. Just make things worse overall. We can all see that

          That counts as a policy? I don’t think an individual action count as a policy. Unless the policy is “leaving any occupied territory”, but that’s not a policy of neither party.

            There was also the whole thing where leaving Afghanistan was an operational disaster due to timelines put in by the Republicans who made that decision.

              No they said “this is dumb let’s gtfo” so they gtfo. Everyone knew for 20 years that the pedo little boy rape force the American were training weren’t going to guard the country for more than 5 minutes after they left.

              Leaving Afghanistan is one of the best things Republitards have ever done. If a Democrat did it you’d all be praising them into the heavens.

            It happened under his watch, but the terms of everything were setup by Trump. Which is also why it was a gigantic fuckup.

            That depends, if it’s bad, then yes, the thing Biden did. If you think it went well, what’s because Trump planned it and set the timelines. /s

      Well, first off there’s 3 "sides.

      1. Conservatives (almost all Republicans)
      2. Moderates (mostly Dems)
      3. Progressive (all dem, but not all Dems)

      I’d love to hear what you think is great about 1 or terrible from 3.

      Those moderates tho…

      Their entire deal is just staying the same distance from 1 and 3, regardless of how illogical that is.

      As long as the US continues to use first past the post for voting on these things, voting for the lesser of two evils is the only actual option we have. Voting independent in these races is effectively throwing your vote away at best.
