Radical Centrism

Radical Centrism is a political philosophy which seeks to use pragmatism in order to arrive at the underlying benefits to approaches from the Left-wing, Right-wing, and also off the regular spectrum of American politics. By seeking to find the best possible solutions through compromise, while still producing something meaningful and un-watered down, Radical Centrism is an attempt to form a political philosophy that is purely American in origin, and ready to tackle the problems our country faces in the 21st century. There are many proponents of this approach today, including authors such as Mark Satin and Ted Halstead, as well think tanks such as the New America Project, which was founded and run by leaders of the tech industry in Silicon Valley.

Ex- John, 24, and like many of his generation, has decided to abandon a "side" in the polarized Left or Right debate in American politics, and instead choose the pragmatic view of Radical Centrism.

Radical Centrist 

Someone who, when discussing the issue of politics, believes that both (or all) sides of the political spectrum are equally bad and imcompitent in every way. This is often caused by a lack of political knowledge, the lack of care towards politics as a whole, or propaganda used to make a political party look worse than it actually is.

In contrast, traditional centrists vote for who they believe is a better candidate regardless of political position and use nuance and reasoning to determine who is worse.

Jimmy claimed he would not vote during this election because "both candidates are equally bad" despite one wanting to make billionaires pay more taxes and the other being extremely racist and sexist. It's pretty clear who's worse, he's just a radical centrist.
