Macklemore came out swinging against the President on his hard-hitting Pro-Palestine anthem "Hind's Hall."

    Because even as a leftist I can and do regularly work with and discuss things with centrists all the time. They can be as rational and reasonable as anyone else when they’re being sincere.

    Wut? Centrists define their politics around triangulating between the two parties, without regard to how one is diving headlong into fascism. I can believe a self-described leftist passionately defending moderate Democrats, but no, centrists are scum basically by definition, because their politics are half-defined by worse scum. It’s not about sincerity, it’s that they don’t even have a functional belief system to convert. The best thing you can do to move a centrist is pull people with an actual ideology left.

      American political centris? Unfortunately far too often than not that’s true. But that’s not necessarily what I was talking about. Politics also exists outside of america. And even then just because someone thinks of themselves as centrist. Doesn’t mean that they are a horrible or bad person either. Most times when it comes to people in America they are simply ignorant and don’t think much about it. And if you engage with them in good faith you can honestly have some pretty productive discussions. Something you can’t get with say Marxist leninists.

      Just going to offer you some advice like you did in your other reply. I don’t know why you’re defending another troll. Whore is a known quantity. Who will not engage in good faith and largely participate in name calling. You should not be defending them or arguing for them. This is the second account of theirs I’ve blocked at least. And I know they have others but they’re waiting to troll on. I just haven’t blocked them yet.

        Did you reply just to feel better about yourself or for attention? I really don’t understand your point. No one said anything to you and yet you seem so offended for something that never even applies to you. Don’t take this personally, friend, but that behavior’s kind of pathetic, imo

          Your projection is strong I see it. You’re the one who’s literally added nothing to the conversation. But you’re probably just another sock puppet.
