    It’s actually fucking amazing, having a moderate view and not falling for this culture war bullshit makes us the crazy ones

    But yeah, happily crazy and non-conforming for forming my own beliefs based on what I see with my own eyes.

    When I am talking about being centrist in a place that’s not America for a second. Which I and many people are.

    Choosing a party that fits my belief more aligns with The Labour Party / Liberal Democrats and The Green Party. Which means actively recognising problems with each.

    The Conservatives have a history of slimy corruption, for every 1 good conservative there are 10 others who will screw someone over at any chance they get.

    Not to say Labour/Lib Dems and Green don’t have those problems. They very much do have corruption. Nobody is immune to bad actors. It’s important to recognise it.

    Whenever I see shit in the US when it comes to politics. It’s still the same; lobbiests working with either party in the countries worst interests. If you want to side with team democrat. Call that shit out. It’s bad when your opposition does it, it’s bad when your supported party does it.

    Lobbying is legal bribery, it happens everywhere and each time a law gets passed/brutalised by the powers in charge it’s bad. Doesn’t matter what team colour you support.

    Same shit happens in England with the Conservatives. Though instead of just weakening laws, they make sure that any changes benefit them or their friends.

    This thread is a dumpster fire, and it’s both sad and funny
