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 don’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.
