    What other countries have a two party democracy?

    Again, when did I mention parties? You keep bringing them up when nobody else did.

    If one is right and one is wrong, that really only makes one party now doesn’t it?

    You’re confusing concepts like leftism and rightism with parties. Parties can have incoherent collections of ideas, they usually serve their donors alone.

    You seem to want to point out math to others, but have an issue understanding it yourself.

    I’m just fine, thank you.

      You’ve mentioned left and right, are those not the party lines? You can’t claim you’re not mentioning parties when you’ve only done it using different terms in every comment. You can’t have someone who is “centrist” in democracies with more than 2 candidates, it’s a uniquely US issue, especially with the smear campaigns instead of actual politics.

      I mean you described them that way, and you’re using them to describe the two different parties. Claiming otherwise is asinine. If they aren’t parties, and they aren’t sides, then what are they?

      Without parties or sides, you can have left, right, or center. I’m sorry you got called out on this and are now flinging shit and making yourself look like biased bigot.

      Now can you answer my questions or are you just going to deflect because you can’t answer simple questions without decrying people who don’t align politically with you…?

        Nope, I am referring to positions, not parties, ie Socialism vs Capitalism, as an example.

        You can’t claim you’re not mentioning parties when you’ve only done it using different terms in every comment.

        I haven’t brought up parties a single time.

        You can’t have someone who is “centrist” in democracies with more than 2 candidates, it’s a uniquely US issue, especially with the smear campaigns instead of actual politics.

        You absolutely can. Centrist does not mean someone purely in between 2 and only 2 concepts.

        Without parties or sides, you can have left, right, or center. I’m sorry you got called out on this and are now flinging shit and making yourself look like biased bigot.

        What are you cooking here? Parties are not sides, parties are groups of people with a shared position. People don’t get their values and views from party lines.

        Now can you answer my questions or are you just going to deflect because you can’t answer simple questions without decrying people who don’t align politically with you…?

        Not a single one of your questions has made sense, like when you keep referring to parties.
