Overall, weak-willed centrists are slowly losing the intraparty debate.
Hold the line, and have faith. We are in this together, and we will get through this together.
I’m sick and tired of people telling me that my rights as a trans woman are somehow in conflict with cis women’s rights. I’m sick of being told that I need to accept being excluded from women’s spaces. That they will support me if I agree that I’m not “really a woman”
It’s bullfuck, I’m getting told “Oh just admit you’re a man and never attempt to label yourself a woman by any metric for any reason ever, and we’ll let you wear a dress, in private of course, we don’t want you giving kids ideas.”
There is no middle position on human rights. If you aren’t for them, you are against them.
Real centrists will say that those medical procedures are nothing of government’s concern and shouldn’t be moderated at all.
The only centrists are Right Wingers who learn that if they admit to being Republican they won’t get laid.
Centrism doesn’t have tenants or foundational principles beyond being moderate. The notion that centrism can be a launching point for any position is just grifter propaganda. Being a centrist is a tacit admission that one doesn’t hold positions based on their individual merits but by their relative acceptance. It’s called the Golden Mean Fallacy but I prefer “4D Group Think”.
Real Centrists are people like Tim Pool, Bill Maher, Cenk Uyger, etc.
You’d lump Tim Pool as a centrist? I certainly wouldn’t.
You have to understand, I consider all centrists closeted right wingers(grifters) or libertarian-adjacent levels of ignorant. In Tim Pools case he’s both. Bill Maher isn’t ignorant he’s just a right wing grifter.
Centrism is fundamentally about pleasing as many people as possible. The grifters gospel.
It doesn’t have tenants or principles with which you can qualify someone based on their stances because the stances of a centrist are fundamentally populist in nature.
Bill Maher is closet MAGA, I don’t know who he thinks he’s fooling.
No such thing as a good “real centrist”.
And some Democrats are listening. California Governor (and possible presidential candidate) Gavin Newsom has had several stabs at “moderating” on trans rights.
Daily reminder, ‘28 Democratic primary voters: if he does it to us, he’ll do it to you
I was coming around on Gavin, but then he came out against protecting doctors accused of helping trans people.
Unpopular opinion: focusing so much just on trans rights while alienating everyone else leads to fascists who will actively kill them.
It’s no different than the dumbass Gaza bros who are deathly silent now that Gaza is a fucking crater due to their vote.
