    People that claim themselves to be centrists in this economy, are either plain stupid or republicunts in disguise.

    Yes, they are not mutually exclusive.

      It’s possible to be left in one area, and right in another. Someone could be left economically, but not necessarily socially.

        Left economically but right socially? Like, they’d want single payer healthcare but only for straight white people?

          That’s not what I meant, but sure, that’s a position someone could have.

          Or someone could want single-payer healthcare for all but thinks abortion should be outlawed. Or hell, the opposite is possible too. Someone could want to remove all safety nets, but want marriage equality.

          For example, a party like https://www.solidarity-party.org/platform is a combination of left and right positions. Their first two party positions are: 1. Sanctiy of Life (anti abortion) and 2. social justice. They explicitly support workers rights and economic security as well as care for the environment. At the same time, they have a pretty conservative view on family (and probably by extension homosexuality, though I haven’t seen that explicity mentioned).
