      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!

        not the populist Antifa nonsense

        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.

            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.
