    I think it’s important to differentiate fence sitting with centrism but both are bad

    A fence sitter is someone with no real political values or positions. They may be stupid, uninformed, or just apathetic. They can be very dangerous because they are susceptible to propaganda and have little ability to critically evaluate their lives in relation to the world.

    But imo a true centrist’s only political belief is for other people with political beliefs to compromise with each other and create the new 3rd way “centrist” position.
