At this point, "centrist" is slang for, "I want to argue for what I believe in under the guise of being the 'Devils advocate'".

Let's hear what a bunch of leftists who think that you can have a functional democracy when everyone thinks exactly the way they do lecture everyone on why political extremisn is a good idea,then start crying when they realize that the only way they can achieve their political paradise is for them to act like the very nazis they claim to despise

"leftists" just want their population to be fairly represented. The system that we have now gives significantly more power to people who live in the right places.

These places are all away from densely populated areas (which are, coincidentally, the areas that are contributing the most to our GDP, also where the highest wages are and thus where the biggest chunk of taxes are collected)

What we are well on our way to, is a tyranny of the minority, and you sound like you're applauding it. As if that is somehow better for everyone than majority rule, or even the stalemate we have now.

Yeah, we want a functional democracy where not everyone, but at least the majority, thinks the same way...and also runs under the direction of a majority. You know, like a democracy should.

What we have now is a dysfunctional democracy...one which runs counter to what the majority are thinking.

Fascists are 'centrists' regardless how it's spun.
