I tried. It was exhausting. I'm better now.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I didn't actually call myself an enlightened centrist. I don't really think most people would consider me to be one either. I am from Denmark and we have mostly leftistish parties. I vote blank because even here, you can bet your sorry ass all the politicians are liars and bigots. Wouldn't really want to support that. Was considering not voting at the last election but then the media would probably just count my non-vote as some kind of lazy citizen with no regard for democracy. That's usually what non-votes are categorised as here anyway. If I had to vote on a party today it would probably be "liberal alliance" which is the most liberal party in Denmark. It is considered a right leaning party in Denmark because they want a flat rate income tax of 40%. Either that or alternativet which has a primary focus on the climate. You probably don't have to resort to calling others turds because they disagree with you. That's not very nice, really... Definitely not furthering a meaningful dialogue.
You're not wrong. This is the level of political discourse that America (and some parts of Canada where I'm from) have devolved into. They don't talk to each other and do nothing but project evil shit on each other 24 / 7. Both sides think they're just trying to kill one another at all times and can't even put themselves in a headspace of pretending to fathom how someone could arrive at a view.
