Batlord's reply to this was spectacular. But I'm curious what the difference between a Centrist and a Liberal is. Especially since the Progressives don't see much of a distinction.

I think of myself as pretty far left, with the usual anomaly positions everyone has. The only thing I consistently back in the Urbanist position - way more public investment in public transit, housing, and education. And the consolidation of the American public, a general reduction in sprawl, and a full-scale investment in renewable energy.

On foreign policy, i'm more hawkish than my Lefty friends. But only because I think when America leaves the world stage you're going to get worse actors.
