So, does the left hate people in the center?

    I just find it quite strange. Trump is the most to the most center republican candidate IMO (always was) and they HATE his guts
    Kennedy is the center leftist candidate, and they hate him.
    Is it because they believe in MONARCHY over COMPROMISE?
    I really find it amazing and mind boggling.
    I always thought, if Trump didn't say so many stupid things ( example "i'd like to knock them out", "what a nasty woman", and so on) that the left would hate him less, but here comes RFK who is still definitely to the left and doesn't say such things, and they STILL hate him
    I'm convinced these people want a MONARCHY
    PROVE ME WRONG!
    Also, where the hell is my girl Tulsi this election? How I'd love to have a female veteran non-hyper partisan president!

    From the point of view of the extreme left, a left leaning libertarian is considered extreme right.

    I believe you. some person posted some political compass thing the other day. I took the test. It put me at slightly left of center. Which I think is weird! but I'm starting to understand it better now. its making more sense. Perception is a key factor on what OTHERS define as "right" or "left"

    I don't want to complete your sentence, but if you mean why should we bother with compromise, its because opposing views usually have pros and cons and that's a good jumping point to find things with the most pros and the least cons (and obviously nothing is perfect)

    Leftists hate anyone who are even slightly less leftist than they are. Pay more attention this is no great secret out there.

    Either fall in line with the party completely or you are the enemy. They don't want a monarchy. They want a Stalist Regime.

    Same could be said for many on the right. Although it’s even worse, say one thing against Trump and you’re a RINO , or a commie or worse. Hail to the chief.

    The far left hates everybody. Trump being a centrist is kind of laughable though.
