It's more often the far left I see rejecting the centrist candidates and thereby ironically helping the right wing because they refuse to comprehend the difference between right wing "exterminate everyone" and centrist "how about maybe don't do that though".

Come on people, this is a strawman fallacy at its finest. Let's at least try to be objective so we can have interesting conversations, and not turn this into an eco chamber for one of the sides.

~~centrist~~ -> far liberal, there I fixed it for you. I hate that stupid centrist word which makes them sound like reasonable people. Deregulation, globalization, privatization of public services, these all have brutal consequences on many people. Selling that as a compromise or a status quo is just an advertising stunt.

I always see memes aimed at centrists to be smug and disingenuous.
