    Also of note, “centrist” does not mean “unbiased” in America. On a world scale, yes we have a center-ish party and a right party. This means anyone calling themself a centrist is pretty far right. So anyone with a centrist position from a global perspective is actually considered a “leftist” in America.

    I’ll see people say “I’m not on either side but” and then spew nothing but Republican talking points, or some shit about how both sides do bad things as if they’re equally bad.

    Lemmy is mostly various flavors of left, and they recognize the nuance of “centrism” enough to decry it.
