Well someone is gargling elons cock, and it's not lefties. So you figure out the math and that's who they're talking about.

    Is a centrist anyone who says "I'm not into politics but (right wing propaganda)" because that's unironically been my experience so far.

    I'm not into politics, but I think everyone should deserve human rights regardless of race, gender or sexuality.

    And I'm a centrist. Fuck you guys who only pick and choose specific examples to paint us as right wingers.

    That and anyone who explains to the left that they too would like a better nominee, but we can figure that out after this crucial election cycle...during every election cycle for their entire life, which are the only times they discuss politics.

    Oh look, wildly left wing people deriding centrists as far right. Weird.

    Nobody said anything about FAR right. In fact, you're the one who's characterizing people as extremists for disagreeing with you, a typical centrist move.

    Nice try. Go be facetious somewhere else.

    Nah, I'm fine right here. You can go be devoid of ideals elsewhere.

    Yeah, you are. Another couple of traits common amongst centrists.

    Aww, that's adorable, but that's not the burn you think it is lol.

    If anyone ever actually achieved communism, it would be much better than most if not all government forms tried so far. Alas, that'll probably never happen as it seems to inevitably turn into a hyperauthoritarian and unequal oligarchy.

    Thanks for wishing the real thing on me even though I pointed out your centrist shortcomings, though!

    It literally wasn't. Do you always believe authoritarian rulers when they self-describe how they govern?

    Bottom line is that communism is by definition the rule of everyone, not an authoritarian one party system.

    I suppose my instinctive reaction isn't to assume someone's politics would determine how they react to Musk.

    My first real assumption would be that tech/engineering types are the only ones who'd really think about him at all (in both directions). Like, I do have an uncle who occasionally brings him up whenever theirs news on SpaceX's rockets (though usually this gets brought up in the context of "new technology sucks" and "what was wrong with the rockets that carried up Voyager" and such).

    So yeah, I really don't think I'd describe anyone as "gargling Elon's cock" except those who still have good will for Tesla.
