      If specifics are needed, Tim Pool (like most of these people) claims to be centrist… Yet always fails into line with the right on everything.

          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.
