Bullshit
I'm a centrist
The Israeli government and Hamas leadership should both be put in front of a wall and shot
Trump is a lying narcissistic sack of shit, just like Elmo Musk
None of that should be on any political side, those are obviously human choices
They forget that centrists don't mean being in the middle of each extreme. If one side is calling for genocide and the other is calling for the prosecution of those advocating for genocide, a centrist perspective isn't about endorsing a little bit of genocide or putting a few people in prison.
Instead, it involves investigating how we reached a situation where people are calling for genocide, apprehending the group that could actually commit genocide, and dismantling the institutions that made it possible for people to join that group. This process is resource-intensive and often anticlimactic.
You don't win by persecuting people, you win by making it difficult to commit crimes. It is a slow process that requires swift action.
The left's search for idealism is what doomed them in the 2024 election.
Well provided you accept that you need to prosecute the people who've already committed crimes. You can't just go ooh well it's society's fault so let them be
Who is?
