Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Those aren't centrists, yikes
Texas is really cooked isn't it
By the US definition a Centrist would vote Democrat or Republican a roughly equal amount of times. I tend to be a traditional Democrat on social issues (not the populist Antifa nonsense), and a traditional Republican on economic issues (not the populist MAGA nonsense). This means at least for presidents my votes have been Bush, Bush, Obama, Obama, Trump, Biden, Harris. So I've tended slightly to the left on presidents. I've also tended to vote slightly to the right on governors and congressmen. Abbott has done a lot of good for Texas as an example, though I've always voted against Ted Cruz. Hope this helps!
You have to know it doesn't.
No matter how much the fascists in office keep repeating it, there is no centralized "antifa" group. It's applied to a diverse grouping of left-wing movements that seek to counteract the rise of Christian nationalist fascism, something that is sorely needed with the policies being enacted by the current administration.
And anyone who places more weight in lies about transgender women being a risk to cisgender women over the wellbeing of transgender people is not a centrist.
Bullshit, I've been on the Austin branch of Antifa's hit list for 2 years now. They thankfully stopped stalking me when I installed cameras all over my house and car and startef conceal carrying. They are a bunch of wannabe tough guys who can't shoot for shit. You would think they would hit the shooting range like the rest of us, but they have zero common sense and only care about ideals.
Lol right
this reads like something a TI would post.
I know you're immune to logic based on your previous replies, but if someone knows you're concealed carrying, you're not concealed carrying. If they do know, from the outside looking in, seems like tough guy behavior.
Lastly, there is no they, because antifa is an idea.
So, are you lying for attention, or do you actually believe what you're saying?
Check out my profile to see what I believe. I've been converting the Austin youth to Existential Christianity by the dozens. Not to mention fundraising a massive amount for TPUSA. It made me a huge target for the atheist Antifa thugs. Not hard to see honestly.
Have you tried not being a fascist?
You fundraise for TPUSA and you claim to be centrist?
You are delusional fascist, guy. That or you are playing the long troll.
I'm sure Jesus would be super proud of you.
