Do the political left and right use the same tactics to push out their opposite positions and take pride in believing "we're not like them?"

@Gloomy And, such a reality for so many for so long.

@MarkPaul Why can't you be honest and admit you are on the right? Your positions clearly indicate that. You may think calling yourself a "centrist" gives you the right to be condescending but it just makes you look ridiculous.

@Gloomy Why can't you admit you are a labelist? You clearly feel you need to categorize people by antiquated definitions of terms. From a centrist point of view, that just makes you look unintelligent, uneducated, and lazy. No offence.

@MarkPaul You are so good at mirroring insults... well done.
Also politics needs organisation and order therefore labels are not stupid or outdated in this context since without a shared vision no progress can be made especially when ideals, ideas and values are far appart between fractions.

@Gloomy I will tolerate your opinion, but I won't acknowledge that you are the arbiter of which label fits on which person. Why don't you admit you use the tactics of the right wing to pursue your fantasy of being a leftist? Denying that's what you are doing when it is so obvious that IS what you are doing only makes you appear foolish, disingenuous, and fraudulent.

@MarkPaul I am not the arbiter since labels pre-exist and I just point out when something fits.
Fantasy of being a leftist? 😂

Alleged leftist. 😎

@MarkPaul How am I not a leftist? 🤔

@Gloomy You use the tactics of the "righties," like TuKKKer Carlson, Alex Jones, Sydney Powell, Michael Flynn, Nikki Haley, Cry-Baby-trump, Keri Lake.
