you know it's true
This is what a few decades of unexamined South Park consumption does to a mfer.
To be clear, the left-right paradigm of politics is utter immaterial garbage, but centrists and (uh oh) 'third positionists' are still a part of that nonsense paradigm. They're not beyond it at all, they're just coming up with rhetorical tricks to pretend they're enlightened and not like the other politics, because of this one weird trick!
this one weird trick!
Doctors love it! (because advocating against universal healthcare keeps their salaries inflated)
I don't know a single doctor in the US that is not an advocate for universal healthcare, and I know dozens of doctors in the US through family and family friends.
Unfortunately.
Most doctors would murder someone to get single payer in for no other reason beyond releaving them from the enormous stress and resource expenditure that comes with insurance billing. Some doctors are apparently spending a significant portion of each working week on billing and compliance now and it's getting worse every year.
Medical device companies are where these folks work. I've got a couple close friends in the biomedical industry. It's not like the majority are opposed to Medicare for All, however there are folks with good paying jobs at Boston Scientific or Medtronic that want their companies to make huge profits.
Sure, but those people aren't medical doctors generally. They're almost entirely salespeople and STEMlord engineer types. There are a handful of crank MDs or DOs maybe, but overwhelmingly actual medical doctors are in support of having a functional healthcare system without money getting in the way of providing patient care or having insurance companies practicing medicine without a medical license.
Yes, it's usually core team people in the business or administration side. A friend who is a multimedia guy had his first gig working for a company that made stints. He was working on internal instruction videos and the engineers were pretty much in charge since they knew how to actually do the tasks. They told him they can't unveil the newest innovative tech until finance sees they made enough revenue on the current iteration.
i dunno, i think there's still a lot of sense to the right-left paradigm.
the right wants to maintain the current oppressive hierarchies, whatever they may be. the left wants to exchange it for a new, more equitable system.
what the current oppressive hierarchy and the new, more equitable system are keep changing over history of course, as our understanding improves (or dulls, due to propaganda)
People who get their news from right wing rags and defend it by saying they don't believe everything they read as even they know it is indefensible.
”This is outdated, I had no choice but to move to the right after hearing Tim Pool (a centrist, he said it himself) explain how crazy the left has become. It's all your fault that I'm now wearing this SS uniform.”
You realize that when these people are around right wingers, they are constantly accused of being leftists.
Of course leftists will see centrists as right wingers, because they hold more right wing beliefs than the leftists. That doesn’t mean they are actually full on rightoids.

This is what happens when you stand for nothing, it's true.
They're worse than fash bc they get in the way and defend fash from us. They're making themselves in to human shields for the fascists and we look like bullies when we tell them they're enabling the
to do fash shit.
what's a full on rightoid then?
if they support capitalism, they're right wingers. this isnt complicated.
the brainworms of right wingers are not relevant to the facts.
"The truth is always in the middle," say dumbfuck liberals who live in a world where the status quo or "the middle" on any given topic is 95% of the way to the far-right end of the spectrum, and their idea of a "left" opinion on the matter is 90% of the way toward the far-right.
