    Yeah, I’m not a septic so I’m not going to view all political discussion by the framing of their two party system. You can argue American politics is broken, and I’d even argue there’s some huge issues with the politics in my country right now too, but that doesn’t mean you can just redefine language and concepts to suit you.

      I just love how media can completely fuck up a word’s definition and then when you actually come in with the correct version everyone yells at you saying “You can’t just change the meaning of words like that” and for the record, yeah I can. That’s literally the point of language.

        Ok, I’ll bite, link me to the definition of “centrism” that defines it as “fascist” then.

            One party in one country in one time period does not a political philosophy make my friend. Maybe you’re Dutch and that’s your frame of reference, but that doesn’t dictate what the word means worldwide any more than the septic political situation does.
