I made 1 comment ever on r/trump which I am not even subbed to…

Imagine being brandished an enemy over a misunderstanding, and banned from an entire community. Especially via an automated method they admit isnt perfect? Now I must appeal? For what again? – That is Kill All Others mentality, and I am labeled the Other.

For context: I try to be a centrist, a proper one with proper devil’s advocation. I usually end up voting Democrat, but I like moderate Democrats and progressive Republicans. (But to be fair, even r/centrist over on Reddit is very… American-Left ideology). I think case-by-case application of ideologies to scenarios is best.

Here is them muting me for my shocked reply:

EDIT: Just wanted to specify with the above picture, I do not believe any side is correct, hence my use of quotation marks. Choosing sides at all, especially in a two-party system, is a mess and we have been warned this many times by many different successful leaders/philosophers. Even our founding fathers warned this… I would say this to an alt-right just as quickly as I do the alt-left.

    That is an extreme perspective to say the least. And freedom of speech has nothing to do with it. You said and I quote "I hope you don’t feel like you’re on the ‘correct’ side of the political spectrum. If you are a centrist, there is no ‘correct’ side. And the only real context to the statement is what you explained and what you said. There’s always 3 sides to a story; your truth, their truth, and the truth. We have observed your truth, so what’s their truth? IMO, that’s what centrism is

    And I will give you the benefit-of-the-doubt that I took your comment out of context, but based off of what I have right now, that’s my view
