    Here’s what I wrote in response:

    You could be fine with the people existing but differ in how to correct past or systemic injustices.

    Someone might be viewed as centrist if they were in favor of civil rights but have some reservations about affirmative action.

    If your argument is simply that anyone who thinks gays have the right to exist is left and not a centrist, I think your definition is not aligning. People say Democrats in the US are center-right. Many Democrats support gay rights. So therefore they are left?




  • You could be fine with the people existing but differ in how to correct past or systemic injustices.

    Or let’s say you think the prices of some things should be set by supply and demand, but you’re against gouging in emergencies and think some basic necessities (food, water, medicine) should have price controls.

    There’s plenty of middle ground, and the people who say you’re with us or you’re for the Nazis may have forgotten what the Soviet victory meant for Eastern Europe.
