1. Your view that there are only two sides is too simplistic. To be in the center doesn't mean you're in a 1-dimensional line you could be on a 2D circle or worse n-dimensional space where there are several competing and opposing views on many different orthogonal axes. To be in the center means not to become beholden to one political view and on one side of a very specific axis. 2. Whether or not opposing content can be merged is irrelevant if there are many different ways of thinking about a topic than a simple binary right or wrong. Often reasoning from first principles yields vastly different results if slight changes are made up and along the chain of reasoning. And different people can have vastly diverging points of view even though they did their own thinking. Therefore to be in the center simply means not to drink the Kool-Aid the latest politician is selling. 3. I think you could reasonably argue being in the center is itself a valid political position if you agree that, again, there are more than two sides. If there are many more viewpoints some not even discussed by current politicians why must everyone pick a side that is currently most fashionable? To be in the center doesn't mean you'll be the net sum of each side, it means you have your own opinion and do not necessarily buy into the narrative that is being sold by either political parties. |
