Be whatever you want. But SAY you’re a centrist, FFS. Why give them ammunition?

Do NOT refer to yourselves or those allies or those on “our” side of the political spectrum as “left”.
You are NOT a leftist. We are NOT leftwing. We are NOT “on the left” or “to the left”. The word “left” has NO PLACE IN ANY DISCUSSION OF OUR POLITICS.
We are CENTRISTS. NOT LEFTISTS. There is no such thing as a “leftist”. It’s simply a term cooked up by these rightwing fascists to diminish and dismiss us. And when WE use that term ourselves, we’re playing right into their hands.
We are CENTRISTS.
THEY are rightwing fascists.
Understand?
So knock this sh!t off!

Centrist - Firearms are OK, but we need background checks.
Leftist - Firearms are the problem. Register them all and then confiscate them all. Harass the citizenry until they give in to demands, regardless of 2A.
