    “Is there a language barrier here?”

    Yes, but I’m trying to help you with that.

    “I asked if you disagreed about a proposed definition.”

    No, you did not ask if I disagreed with a proposed definition.

    you wrote: "I’m trying to establish that we’re using the same definition of “centrist”

    without offering a definition or asking any questions.

    “Given the sheer amount of policies, anyone would disagree with at least one”

    good point.

    likely with many.

    I wonder how many people disagree with multiple party policies?

    hm.

    “…if you’re still confused what the purpose of that was.”

    If there is one thing your comments are not, that is confusing.

    “Liberals and conservatives are not clubs that you enter and define your viewpoints based off of”

    source? any sliver of evidence?

    what do people vote more often for?

    The policies they comprehensively read and understand, or their party?

    “You can even define it more fuzzily”

    go for it, define party affiliation as fuzzily as you’d like.

    bear in mind that this hazy regulation you’re coming up with also necessarily applies to centrism.

    “calling centrists out for republican policies may be less accurate than calling republicans out for them”

    it is definitively inaccurate.

      I don’t think I’m going to bother with this convo anymore. You’re not even wrong, you’re just so hopelessly confused as to the threads of conversation here and frankly I’m insulted that every time you lose one you find a way to insult me. That’s clearly not just a language barrier thing. Screw off with that mate

        “I don’t think I’m going to bother with this convo anymore”

        so courteous of you to let me know you’re going to stop participating the conversation by participating in the conversation.

        “You’re not even wrong”

        i know, thanks.

        “you’re just so hopelessly confused as to the threads of conversation”

        incorrect, I’m not confused about the conversation, I critically disagree with the basic flawed premise that nobody has been able to deny.

        No matter what you want to call it, this meme, about conservative policies, features a centrist.

        centrism encompasses the people on this thread slapping their knees and choking on their their guffaws while they mistakenly think they get to attack somebody who is into them.

        they’re just being prepped to be prejudiced toward another group who they want to peg as the other.

        “Screw off with that mate”.

        keep not talking to me, that’s really working out for you.
