Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

Actually the centrists are right-wing. Social Democrats are centrist compared to mainstream Europe, but even EU nations have drifted rightward thanks to neoliberalism.
Capitalism ruins everything.
No war but class war.
What I find frustrating about American centrists is that they don't even realise they are centre right-- thanks to the weird corporate media indoctrination keeping the Overton window on the capitalist framework. They can be socially progressive but economically right. They look down on the working class by refusing to acknowledge the effects of offshoring and deindustrialisation on the latter. If you ask American centrists if they favour building affordable housing, you get cricket noises.
American centrists are maybe socially progressive, but they think social justice is separate from economic justice.
Oh the right only talk about affordable housing only when it’s to gain votes from a right person who can’t afford a house
That is the ONLY time it’s even discussed.after that : never happened.
"Everything should be private, the State should not Regulate that which Money cares about in any way form or shape and Genocidal Fascism is fine as long as it's abroad" isn't center-right, it's hard right, possibly Facism-adjacent.
