Sounds to me like you want to keep your bigoted opinions yet still expect to be accepted by people who don’t like bigotry.

So yeah, a centrist. In the “conservative dating profile” sense.

No, I simpily side with research.

You side with anything that will keep trans people from participating as equals in society.

Plus, what’s to stop a bunch of terrorists from dressing up like ICE and doing whatever they want?

That’s just called ICE.

You side with bigots. You will always require more research as a stalling tactic.

Would the right wing accept me or would they be as friendly as you lot are?

You’re asking us to accept bigoted opinions and threatening to go to the right like you weren’t there already.

Sure. just bring up divisive right wing talking points. And then call yourself a centrist.

It tracks.

in which case my opinion may change but the research is still somewhat inconclusive and requires more evidence.

And until then, you side with anti-trans bigots.

I think you may be misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m saying that centrists worship and obey billionaires.

The term ‘centrist’ exists for a reason

Yeah, it gives conservatives something to call themselves on dating sites.

Because lemmy isn’t reddit and as a result has little patience for anti-trans bigotry.

The only point I was making was for fair competition in women’s sport

Which you don’t seem to have researched, or you would have known about the standards already in place to keep competition fair.

I know the trans-women in sport issue is almost non-existent but it’s probably the biggest talking point in the comments it seems.

Says the person who brought it up.

One of my favorite hypotheticals is that once someone gets to a billion money they get a trophy that says “I won capitalism” and anything over the limit goes to folk who need it.

And they name a dog park after you. That part is crucial.

Centrists already hated him, and now he said their gods shouldn’t exist.

You mean the continuing resolution that would have caused a government shut down which Trump would have used to take more power

That’s a cute excuse. If they’re not going to ever use the filibuster, they should have killed it to protect Roe and voting rights. But since the filibuster is an easy way to block progressive legislation, they won’t. They won’t play offense when they have the ball and won’t play defense when they lose the ball.

and a meaningless symbolic vote?

Yeah, democrats have sunk to the level where they won’t even do meaningless symbolic shit.

And has all of trump’s agenda been executive orders? The continuing resolution schumer caved on? The vote to thank ICE?

Democrats had the opportunity to pass voter protections.

They considered the filibuster to be more important.

They have filibustered none of trump’s agenda.

In fairness, it’s how they’re trying to win this argument.

Centrists are happy to lie about the left.

Move to the right and scold harder.

It keeps getting centrists the results they want.

Only if centrists don’t vote blue no matter who.

If Mamdani loses, I’m blaming all centrists no matter how they voted. After all, they blame every progressive for trump’s wins.
