    It betrays a deep level of self-awareness of being on the “bad” side and knowing that if you say your actual values around a large number of normal people you will face criticism and attacks, so it’s shame. Centerism is almost always some level of shame, or at best woefully immature ignorance of actual politics.

      I actually got chills lately when Bill O’Reily came out and said Obama was the best president of his lifetime and he only talked shit on him because he got paid to.

      How can you know something is wrong and do it anyway?
