Thing is, when you have one side constantly moving the goal post back to defend a habitual lying administration who is so painfully obvious in their cover-ups, while also choosing to vote for party over obvious truthful accusations of pedo behavior while condemning those on the left for behavior that while inappropriate, was not nearly as bad... who is allowing a man who is an obvious danger to us all, who is destroying American institutions and purposely dividing our country on a disgusting level... Allowing him to run amuck. A party who not so long ago was saying Mueller is unquestionably a man of integrity and honor and are now turning on him because he stands to fuck up their agenda in ways they never thought possible. A party who forces through a tax plan that no one was able to read or score, which will most likely mortgage our future, just because they are desperate for a win... it makes it really hard not to get pissed off about this shit...
The reason you don't hear me bitching about the left is because they are basically powerless right now and are not doing anything other than pointing out all of this nonsense . Republicans keep on bitching about Uranium One and all this other crap that really is baseless to begin with, but more importantly has NO BEARING ON ACTUAL CURRENT EVENTS! Her emails, Benghazi, Uranium One, and all that other bullshit won't mean a thing moving forward. All the fucked up bullshit the GOP is doing will.
Also, I've said many times I very rarely watch MSN because they are too far to the left and bias, and while CNN tries to be centrist and fair they are leaning more left, but I guess you either missed that or willfully ignored I've said that too.
Regarding CNN btw... They have been constantly attacked by this administration for reporting FACTS since day 1. Trump has left them no choice but to be on the defensive and constantly point out his fuckery.
Come on, that's a cop out.
"I don't criticize the left because they're powerless now."
They're not powerless at all. They have less power than they did in recent years, but to dismiss them as a non-factor is inaccurate for so many reasons.
So let me get this straight... you think that MSNBC and CNN are too far left and avoid them for that reason, yet somehow you think FOX News and the GOP are the ones brainwashing people. See any problem with that statement?
What I'm seeing here is you hand-picking areas where you have gripes/issues with Republicans, and then claiming those are why you're criticizing only them lately.
In the meantime, you have completely abandoned ALL criticism of the left.
Sorry, but that't not centrism. Centrism means that you are in the middle of both parties' typical platforms, policies, and beliefs, and often disagree with both. While it's perfectly fine to despite a candidate on one side (such as Trump), if all of your political views seem to be anti-right and pro-left (or at least pro all the left's criticism of the right), then you're not a centrist.
On this forum, I have noticed that blake is a centrist. SrslySirius is a centrist.
While both frequently bash Trump and Republicans, both have also called out the other side when they're full of shit -- even when the other side is bashing Trump unfairly.
I don't see you ever doing that -- at least not anymore.
Look, I get it. You own a business in an industry where Democrats are far more friendly to it, and it's natural to drift to the side which supports your livelihood, even if you don't realize that's what you're doing.
I can even believe that you honestly think you're a centrist, but just happen to hate the actions of Republicans at the moment.
But if you seem to have zero criticism of the actions of the present-day left (or if your criticism is very minor and/or dispassionate), and you detest the right more every day, guess what?
You're not a centrist.
