    There ARE extremists on both sides, but the entire US political spectrum is so skewed toward the right that these “centrists” are standing JUST outside of the extreme right, and several miles from the closest social democracy proponent, while screaming “DON’T COME ANY CLOSER” to the left, shaking in fear.

    I mean tankies are real. They really do exist.

    I’ve encountered a few of them here.

    It’s just there are way less of them than extremist rights.

      Tankies aren’t extreme left tho, I’d argue. They’re imperialist totalitarians, which isn’t exactly left. I’d call them centrists at best, but we all know where totalitarianism leads…
