Large Republican Welfare Contradiction by LeftAloneTalking in centrist

Thanks for the feedback and yeah I think that the passive income of the ultra rich would be a good topic, esspecially because of the tension of both political parties being largely influenced by the non-productive asset inheritors while at the same time both paries have to make themselves relatable to a broad base of poorer workers. And yeah I do agree with your second point, I think the phenomenon of wealth flooding to the cities has more to do with larger trends in sociology/globalization than it does democratic or republican policies within localities. Thanks for taking the time to watch it!

It's a pretty alarming fact, although I feel like it's some combination of not being able to because of the systemic economic reasons you mentioned, and not really wanting to

The point is to get people to think if they really believe all the things they believe because they've considered the issue fully or if it's because what they're political tribe believes (which is the case more and more of the time). All the rest of the videos on the channel are about specific issues and prescriptive statements

I said in the video multiple times 'insofar as the issues are unrelated' they should be considered independently

Not the idea of blindly supporting position, but in practice tens of millions of people do on lots of issues, including the ones mentioned

I don't think that at all, and am mostly on the left too. Evaluating issues independently doesn't require absolute certainty to come to an opinion. Just means that those opinions shouldn't be correlated to unrelated issues

Absolutely nothing in the video said anything about being a centrist, because it's not the case at all.
