the whole "I don't have a team" thing is a combination of cowardice and laziness that masks as being clever. These guys think oh, well, if I pretend to be on the fence, I can attack everyone whenever I want but can't be attacked in turn. If you feign resistance to having positions, then it's much more difficult for people to call out those positions. Meanwhile you can still hit all the virtue signal points and dress them up as coming from a moderate space . "I'm in the middle, and even I know Joe Biden was the most corrupt President ever!"
