Opposing fascism isn’t far left. That’s just being a decent person.

The US doesn’t really have a far left. It barely has a left. What MAGA calls left tends to be rather center, like the position that people should be able to afford healthcare.
"Radical left Joe Biden" will never not be funny.
Advanced strawman. Opposing fascism isn't far left. It's just not-right.

What if I informed you that there are more than two options, and they don't have to be extremities? And what if I followed up by informing you that what we have in the US, for a political spectrum, is not the norm elsewhere in the world?
The political spectrum in the U.S. omits leftists entirely. Both Republicans and Democrats are pro-capitalism and pro-U.S. imperialism.
And what if that not only changed nothing, but didn’t refute the post?
My reply was more aimed at the title of the post and its sentiment. "Pick a side"
I'm not a believer that there are only two political options for the US, long term, and would love to see a true political multi-party representation in the US government. I believe that something not completely (EU) far left will prevail in the US. And absolutely not the (US) far right. (Perhaps I'm just being a wishful fool, and the US will crash and burn in the next 1-5 years. Hopefully, we can make it out of this mess without doing so. But if it has to happen, so be it.)
completely (EU) far left
The EU is only "far left" in comparison to the US.
But that's because the US has moved so far to the right that they can't see any other political position from where they stand.
To be fair, I am bad at picking titles. So there's that
Centrists are actually with maga, they just don't wear the hat. See Fetterman, Schumer, Jeffries, etc
I'll summarize something I said before:
Democrats will hurt you for money, but Republicans will pay for the privilege. Both parties subservient to capital but there are still meaningful distinctions. Change must come from the bottom.
Counterargument: Centrists are actually a diverse group with many very different positions, that just have in common the fact they don't agree with either of the currently dominant political factions.
Aggressive reposte: what you just did (political stereotyping, where you label everyone who disagrees with you as basically being the same cartoon villain) is, in my experience, an example the left-wing bigotry that drives centrists away from your political faction. Disagreeing with your doesn't mean that I agree with the hateful morons on the right, it just means I also see and won't tolerate your bigotry.

Yet another poorly made fallacy meme. Is there a bot just crapping out this same template every few days?

Far left citizens may oppose fascism but their leaders aren't doing a good job of it. America needs a better left wing party.
your right because there is none
People thinking the Dems are left. They're left of the GQP, they're not left of the spectrum, far from it. The neoliberal is as much not your friend as the fascist is.

We hate centrists. Everyone hates centrists
Yeah, both are too loud and impeding the centrist ability to go back to Brunch lmao
Brunch: May or may not include stuffing their own pockets
Social democrats are what centrists actually are and they're generally on board.
"Centrists" tho
