You're right on half of that, but on what issue does he meaningfully align with the left? Like I said, he seems to fall right into line with the right on everything - outside the shallowest veneer.
I'm a centrist - both sides are bad - exclusively lists things the Democrats are doing.
I don't support the Republicans - but agrees with everything they're doing.
It's a great way to feel as though you've risen above partisanship and form your own opinions like a special smart boy - as you're led straight to right-wing positions on every issue.
He certainly shifted right over time, but I don't think he could have ever fairly been called a centrist.
Disagreeing with the Democrats doesn't make you right-wing (I disagree with them on most things because I'm pretty far left - condemning the Democrats exclusively (other than the vaguest possible 'I don't agree with the republicans) while near-universally agreeing with the positions of the GOP makes you right-wing.
All of the above.
Can you name anything Pool has agreed with the Democrats on (and disagreed with the conservative/reactionary/magat line) - words or actions in the last 2 years?
I'm sure we can find something - but you could say that if most conservative voters. The relative difficulty proves my point.
You tell me.
He opposes abortion rights, doesn't he. Dead kids don't matter, but owning a gun is more important than losing bodily autonomy and taking on a lifelong responsibility. You're choosing to defend this transparent grifter.
What's your guns and far left/right schizo posting (you really got unintelligible at the end there) got to do with Pool obviously being a right-winger a centrist? No matter - Gun control works just fine - why do you think the US has one of the highest rates of gun death in the developed world - particularly compared to Canada? Is homicide baked into American genetics or something? This isn't a values statement - it's a factual one. In the US specifically, I'd like leftists to own guns so they're somewhat able to defend themselves when the right abandons democracy and start following through on their genocidal rhetoric.
If being shown very simple evidence contradicting your weird defence of your parasocial big brother prompts this kind of response from you, I'd strongly recommend seeking some support. I'm going to block you now - I don't wish you harm, and continuing to embarrass you might do just that. Be well, my dude.
