Those people need to get with the times. If we were living 500 years ago they’d be the ones burning people at the stake to things like gravity.

Progress and knowledge can’t be held up because of some conservative snowflakes.

What am I denying?
Half the country thinks the Dems are too extreme (source needed). Sure, but why do they think that? And how does that compare against the people who don’t think they’re “extreme” enough? How many of the 80,000,000 people who don’t bother voting would vote Democrat if they changed things? Where’s your evidence that centrism would expand the Democrats’ voter base? Tim Ryan is a centrist, he just got creamed in Ohio. Here in Florida, the Democrats ran a former GOP Governor (Charlie Crist) against DeSantis, got creamed. Ran an ex-cop against Marco Rubio, spent $80M, got creamed.
Why doesn’t the GOP suffer as they move out of the center for 60 straight years? I feel like you haven’t thought this out and just ran with the standard Ron Paul shit of “both parties are crazy for different reasons, we need compromise,” failing to take into account that the things people hate about both parties (corporate servitude, war mongering, policies favoring the rich) are the compromises.

If half the population disagrees with you then clearly something is wrong. Calling them names and denying their beliefs isn't going to do anything but incite violence. This is like elementary school level shit here.

Your right. Reacting with violence to name calling or political differences is super childish.
People call me names and christian conservatives belittle my beliefs on a daily basis. Do I react with violence? Of course not.

Don't pretend the left isn't just as prone to violence when someone triggers them with words. I've seen many examples of it over the years recently.

Don’t pretend the left stormed the capital

Hey it's fine I don't expect people who are deeply entrenched in their political ideology to actually speak the truth in regard to their own side's faults.

There's nothing wrong with being liberal or having progressive concepts. Disregarding half the population for disagreeing with you is another matter. That said, those you disagree with do the same thing. That's kind of why I'm calling for a centrist third party.

I bet your centrist third party would deny LGBTQ rights and similar false moderate positions.
Moderates are the worst. Conservatives in disguise imo.

"Moderates are the worst." It would seem that you and the far-right do agree about some things...
That said, if I was in charge of this imaginary third party we would focus on the golden rule. Personal decisions that don't harm others shouldn't be banned. As far as LGBT goes, the only things that might be banned are things that involve minors.

What's wrong with disregarding large swaths of people? Especially when it comes to mindless groupthink of tribal politics, the majority of people are uninformed at best and dangerously stupid or even purposefully harmful and disruptive at worst.
People aren't this tumultuous microcosm with some stable and calm point of reason and logic and peace located at the center of it all... we're all fucked in the head and there is no center

That is of course your opinion. That said, if we are talking about ruling over people, then disregarding the way half the population feels is quite foolish if you ask me.

If you're a referee at a soccer game and a player scores a clear goal, but the entire other team protests that the ball never went over the line, should you be a moderate and just call a do-over?

That's not really a fair comparison. You're talking about rules that are already established. Not rules that are on the table to be changed or created.
A fairer example would be having two kids. One wants chocolate the other vanilla. Or one wants to go see Ariel and the other wants to see Spiderman. Or one wants the AC colder and the other hotter. etc etc
