I've actually never met anyone like this. I think people on social media want a binary so they simplify all opinions into fascism vs antifascism and then point and laugh at those who try to bring the details back into the discussion. They claim that centrists are somehow "splitting the difference" between fascism and antifascism.

It's so illogical I can't help but rule it out when trying to understand someone's train of thought.

Its really stupid. We need to work together in a country anyways to accomplish anything meaningful. While I don't think the label far left is fit for dems I think this us vs them mentality definitely makes for a less constructive discussion

You have, you're on a reddit clone. Reddit, especially r/politics is centrism defined,, including the ever rightward shift it has taken that follows the natural path of centrism.
