if someone is democratically elected they can’t have en extreme ideology?
- next_xibalba 2y agoExtreme relative to what? The left-right framework is purely arbitrary and relative. I would argue the center should be set at the political views of the average voter. If 50% of voters elect a politician, I would then argue the candidate is quite close to the “center”.
- ses1984 2y agoSince most presidential elections are basically 50/50, every president and their opposition are all basically in the center, I guess.
