    I mean that is going to happen when the left responds to someone who is almost entirely left, but holds one “right wing” opinion so you call them a Nazi and lump them in with the right when we both dam well know they really aren’t.

    I’m talking someone who agrees with the left on everything except one thing like they are pro-life or against trans women in women’s sports or something. Even though they agree with the left on everything else you guys will unilaterally reject them for their one different stance.

    Ive seen it happen multiple times online and many time personally in my own life with friends and family.

    There are people who hold stances from both sides and they are capable understanding both sides perspectives, but they are not even allowed near the left and that’s a real problem. If you aren’t willing to even talk to people that are in the middle how on earth can you expect people to come to your side or change?

      You aren’t in the middle if you are a misogynist who doesn’t agree trans women are women, and doesn’t believe in women’s right to choose. You’re on the right.

        See this is exactly what I’m fuckin talking about. You can’t even see the problem with your line of thinking.

        This hypothetical person was going to vote with you 9 times out of 10 and you’re rejecting them because they share one different stance. Do you not see how this might be a fucking problem come voting time? You tell that person they are actually on the right and they don’t deserve to be around you or your party why the fuck would they vote with you?

          What you “centrists” call “purity tests” by the left are in fact just a threshold level of basic of human decency. Leftists simply don’t want to hang with folks who embrace bigoted viewpoints and who are willing to vote for any party that supports the genocide of Palestinians. You are deluding yourself into thinking a compromise position on these issues is in any way morally or ethically acceptable. Compromise is for things like what color you are gonna paint your living room, not for basic human rights.

          “Look, if i cant be a transphobe or have authority over women’s bodies, i will vote for the nazi party and get all you fuckers put in concentration camps 😠.”

          Why in the fuck would we accept you if you want women to birth babies by force? The baby will grow up unwanted, poor, unloved and resented. The mother might have health issues she wont be able to recover from. Can’t go to school or get a job because gotta take care of the kid.

          You hold ignorant views. The whole trans people in sports is such a non issue that you were told is a huuuuge problem. That is not our problem. Educate yourself. We are not gonna coddle you for believing ridiculous things.

            Yup. Just keep pushing people away who would otherwise vote your direction. I’m sure that will totally help you win the next election.

            If you are going to require that everyone share your exact stances across the board you will never win another election again.

            Short sighted morons.

              Its interesting how we, random lemmy users, don’t want to be your friends because some of the views your hold are shit, that that upsets you so much to the point you will vote against your own interest…

              Watch John Oliver’s episode on trans people in sports and you will see its a made up issue.

              And if you put the life of a fetus, and unborn being, above that of womens rights to their own body, then you have your priorities messed up.

              We are morons for not bending over for your ignorance?.. Grow up.
