Usually, when someone says that they are a centrist, it means that they are milquetoast, afraid of conflict, and unwilling to make a stand. That is not me.
Being a part of the radical center means zealously fighting against insanity on both the left and the right, and while agreeing to compromise on policy when necessary, completely and obstinately unwilling to compromise on basic principles or morality.
My own credo is "me genoito!" which was often used by Paul in the New Testament as a statement of dismay at the possibility that an idea might be taken to an illogical extreme. While translators usually render the meaning as "God forbid!" a more accurate translation is "Hell no!"
So yes, "Hell no!" to both Sanders and Trump, and this is something that I am willing to go to the mattresses over. That is the radical center.
