    It’s because the GOP knows that more voters means they lose. Centrists don’t exist. There’s no middle ground between Ds and Rs anymore.

    No one is 50/50 on Trump.

    VOTE

        Prove it. The numbers from the 2016 and 2020 election say entirely different.

      Centrists do exist and will always exist. Regardless how bad or good things are.

      The problems is both sides have at least 1 great and 1 terrible policy or stance.

      We need more sizeable parties options, or at least vote for them.

      That way people can vote for parties that best fits them.

      Note: voting for the lesser of two evils, won’t solve the problem. Just make things worse overall. We can all see that

        Well, first off there’s 3 "sides.

        1. Conservatives (almost all Republicans)
        2. Moderates (mostly Dems)
        3. Progressive (all dem, but not all Dems)

        I’d love to hear what you think is great about 1 or terrible from 3.

        Those moderates tho…

        Their entire deal is just staying the same distance from 1 and 3, regardless of how illogical that is.

        As long as the US continues to use first past the post for voting on these things, voting for the lesser of two evils is the only actual option we have. Voting independent in these races is effectively throwing your vote away at best.
