As long as you're amoral and self-serving, you can only be a "right winger", whatever that means. It's only when you dispel the myth of moral relativism and believe that, yeah, some things ARE wrong (and we should avoid and condemn them, of course), that you can start becoming a person worth existing and worth listening to. And if you're not very smart nor very brave you might be a "non radical" "leftist" but hey, your heart is probably in the right place so I'm not gonna hate (too much).

The problem is those "Centrists" are the mainstream Democratic party. There is no left-wing in national politics. The left has no one to vote for.

Not necessarily. I also think that both sides extremes are absolutely awful.

The difference is that us "real" "both-siders" realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.

Say more about this. Some news articles. Some journalists. Some academic papers. Something to validate your statement here.

I run into this on dating apps. “Centrist” and “apolitical” are both code for “conservative.”
