Lets say l support right wing policies about “free market” but left wing about ownership/property ownership/guns.

Or none of my beliefs are radical, is more correct.

Does that make me a centrist or indecisive?

    A two party system doesn’t allow for nuance or dissenting opinions. I consider myself very liberal in most things. But I don’t strictly fit in the American liberal box. I think a gay couple should be able to get married, buy a machine gun, buy any drug they want at a corner store, see a doctor at no cost outside of tax, do whatever they want to their bodies, a robust support system should exist for their children, own land, do whatever they want on their land, open a cash business and do a whole bunch of other conflicting things. The world isn’t black and white.

      So pretty much everything you described is left except buying something designed to kill dozens of people. So maybe prioritise.

          Doesn’t seem to be helping Americans so I’ll take my chances and not have children be killed in school shootings every day

        I did, that’s why it was number 2 😉. Several of the other things on that list are also more right than left. Plus the whole last part of my statement.
