The reason that you are running into situations like this is because you never see the Centrist also vehemently argue with right-wing policies frequently.
You only see them argue with you and therefore have a skewed view of them and their politics. If you are left wing, and argue for left-wing policies in every case, that means you will also be argued with by somebody who believes political nuance and not just waving a party flag.
The right wing also shits on centrists because they think they are secretly left-wing since they argue with some of their stupider points as well.
These people aren't secretly right-wing and just don't have the balls to say it. That is a horrendous take no matter where you fall on the political spectrum the only serves to limit conversation.
I would love to see a centrist argue against right wing policies. Once.
Not even to me just in general. Surely there is a library of video / audio / text examples out there that for some reason hasn't crossed my path, and a whole lotta shit has in almost 30 years of internet.
Oh I gotcha. Right-leaning centrist here: fuck guns, don't ban abortion.
It's not that hard /shrug
Congrats. You are now a liberal going by USA terms.
That's not an argument, that's a conclusion. Conclusions are meant to go at the end of arguments.
