I always figured people that badmouth the left or the right, seem to think they have found the "line" in the middle, that in turn makes their opinions and behaviors superior. What a joke we are, on ourselves. “We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now. It’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality.” Anil Seth … neuroscientist.

@patrickbertlein4626 Pertaining to politics, rather than Extreme Left, or Extreme Right ... the word Centrist implies middle of the road ... moderate ... as in "not going to extremes either way." In a country where people vote, the object is, the voters are either for or against certain issues, and for that reason, will vote for either one party, or the other. For instance ... those who believe that abortion offends the will of a god, will be voting for the party that promises to make abortion illegal. While those who want to give women the power to make their own decisions, will vote for the party that promises to keep abortion legal. When it pertains to the subject of abortion, there isn't any middle of the road. Gun control, or the lack thereof is another touchy subject, where voters either vote for one side, or the other side on that issue. I suggest that politicians in the Centrist party, by trying to follow the middle of the road, will ultimately leave the middle of the road; veer off either to the extreme left, or to the extreme right ... which has occurred to every group of politicians that tried to improve the old system for something new, and hopefully more agreeable to everyone.

@patrickbertlein4626 Which party receives your personal vote?

If you are extreme right, then you are as much of a problem as if you are extreme left. To be fair, you must be able to talk a middle "line,” either praising both sides … or badmouthing both sides.

@mrsslav5593 Encouraging hatred against Left, or Right ... is what divides the people in the country to fight among each other. Discussing individual ideas should be all that is necessary, unless of course ... those at the news stations and those promoting their own podcasts want to create a civil war ...all in the quest to keep their ratings high. When I asked some irate complainers ... "If you were in power ... what rules would you put into governing the country?' ... they didn't respond.

@mrsslav5593 Whether left or right ... those who join any group ... believe that their personal choice of politics should rule the world. Those in religion were and are of the same mentality. It's an ego problem. Example as follows ... From the book ... Guide for Living … Pope Pius XII … Selected Addresses and Letters of His Holiness World Government Address to members of the Universal Movement for World Federation, April 6, 1951: Your movement gentlemen, aims at bringing into being an effective political world organization. Nothing is more in line with the traditional doctrine of the Church nor more adapted to her teaching regarding just and unjust war, particularly at the present juncture.
