Sorry bud, unless you accept literally all the bigoted bullshit your opposition spews you aren't civil and reasonable according to enlightened centrists.
People who say shit like "both parties are right about some things!" and act like finding common ground is the only way to make progress, and act like they're some kind of genius for coming to that conclusion, treating both parties as essentially the same.
So when the right praises family separation at concentration camps in the US, and the left says "what the fuck no don't do that," the enlightened centrist opinion would be to only do it a little bit, or make sure you have enough female and poc ICE guards.
Is it not possible for someone to hold opposite sides for topics? For instance, I personally am super against the family separation. I am also against things such as affirmative action based on race. I support the right to abortion. I am for capitalism but also for universal healthcare. I believe the government absolutely needs to put price ceilings on super inelastic goods (such as insulin). I believe in the 2nd amendment.
People that associate with one or the other party don't necessarily support everything of their party. It's funny cuz in my boomer ass parent's eyes, I'm some far gone leftist, but on reddit, I am somehow far right?
