#Center Left

[livinces2]

"You can't be a Centrist, it doesn't exist! You have to pick a side! You're just trying to play both fields!"

Buddy, if you're fully Right-wing or fully Left-wing, you are in a cult. You're a cult member. 🎵 He's a fire-eater, he's a cult leader. 🎵 Etc etc.

There is no "playing both fields," we're simply capable of complex, nuanced thinking.

The Youngest Elected Serving State Leader in 2024

The current Prime Minister of Iceland (Forsætisráðherra Íslands) since 21 December, 2024, Kristrún Frostadóttir, from the Social Democratic Alliance party (centre-left), is the youngest elected serving state leader per January 2025 at age 36. Hopefully their government will run smoothly and still get parliamentary support.

She is beautiful!

I heard an analysis on NPR about how a guy in New York was getting dropped from dates because of his politics - that he supported Trump. But not in a MAGA way, more for the policies. You can imagine New York and most women living there lean liberal - hence the clash and normalization of othering those in the local political minority - republicans/conservatives.

When he found a relationship that stuck, he was able to have deep conversations with his partner who was female and recognize the hurt that some conservative policies on social justice have.

We all care about the policies that affect ourselves the most, and care little about the policies that affect us the least (but obviously affect other people). It's a two way street. It's not all just superwealthy, it's medium businesses that are affected, and the reason it's matters to any American reading this is because they have a vote too. And if you dint consider it... well, look where we are. And this story launched before the election even happened, which was much more foretelling that what polls were expecting.

You can't have social justice without considering everyone. I think that's the error not only Harris's campaign made, but the entire political party made. It's been an underlying problem for years, and it's finally risen up it's ugly head. The wolf we tried to defeat was inside us all along. She tried to fight it (we're not moving back, we're moving forward/this is a campaign for everybody) but the damage had already been done over many years. And it gobbled up the votes of those extraneous people that didn't have a connection via being a conventionally excluded identity or knowing someone who is an excluded identity, and they formed their own anti identity to have something to belong to.

The people conventionally excluded (the left) isolated themselves. We were trying to win the war in the way they won the war, via force by numbers and sheer majority, but it's not gonna work cause we don't have majority. So the other thing we can do is give what we want to get. Start the invitation. Give respect to get respect. The same goes for them, but you are only in control of what you do.

Here are some of my controversial beliefs as a center-left, dyed hair, they/them pronoun having, autistic, woke bitch:

Gender and sex are two different things and even when you’re trans, you’re still your biological sex. Example: A trans-women is a women but also male (because biological sex)

Kids under the age of 10 should not be able to make the decision to get a puberty blocker yet.

Not liking someone in a romantic/sexual way because they are trans is 1000% okay, because everyone has preferences.

Body positivity should be about bringing positivity to things you can’t control, height, acne, high metabolism, disability’s, low metabolism, etc. You should be happy in your own body but don’t promote unhealthy life styles, obesity, anorexia, etc.

Just fuck off! If it doesn’t hurt you then it doesn’t matter. Just ignore people and let them live life.

Transgender is different from transsexual!

If you follow center-left liberalism in lockstep without any understanding, you're still going to be correct 90% of the time.

This is exactly why the right always prevails: they are a united front. We, on the other hand, all eat each other the fuck alive. Infighting and purity politics are the fucking death of us all.

It doesn’t matter how much we all (democratic socialists, far leftists, liberals, center lefts, internet communists, apolitical people who just see how evil the right is, ANYONE ON THE SIDE OF HUMAN RIGHTS) hate each other, I don’t care. Just remember, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

On a side note, the anonymity here makes way too damn many of you WAY too damn comfortable with flagrantly telling people to kill themselves over literally anything.

I swear to god if any of you people decides to get on a political high horse at other leftists for any reason now I’m going to make all my threats real at you

I don’t fucking care what your nuances are if you’re against fascism you’re with me even if you disagree with me on other things.

And we’re doing this together. Because at this point, we have to.

Band together, everyone. I don’t care if you’re center-left or far-left or a socialist or a social democrat or a “safety net” capitalist or whatever the fuck.

There is safety in community, and we need that community right now more than ever.

Threatening to dox each other or telling each other to unalive over one badly worded post or slightly bad take isn’t going to do us any good and it’s going to isolate us all more.

If you are against fascism, we are on the same side, at least for now.

We can argue nuance later. Today, we stay together to survive.

just had a blinding epiphany about the job search process. this whole time I have been thinking it is about demonstrating I am a good candidate for the position to someone who is qualified to decide that. and that is not true at all. it's just like the doctor thing. all the jobs are too fucking stupid to know what a valuable asset I would be to their company so my job is to put on a little act and do a little dance and trick them into hiring me so I can do them the favor of working for them even though they're too stupid to hire me without being tricked. wow I feel way better about the whole thing now. let's do this

Lottie's position on the soccer field is center back (#5). In soccer, the Center Back is a defensive role, yet they quietly control the whole field. They control both defensive wingers on either side of them and guide the midfielders during an attack on the defensive side.

Many of the girls positions equate to their narrative role, but Lottie's fascinates me the most. She quietly controls the narrative, just like the soccer fields

Tim Miller & Adam Kinzinger: Time For a Democratic Tea Party

“Boos at a Republican town hall in Fulton County, and boos at the White House: We’re beginning to see signs of people refusing to be ruled by unelected billionaires, oligarchs and CEOs. This may be the time for Democrats with some heterodox views to run for office. Meanwhile, the supposedly free speech president and his shadow are trying to intimidate people from criticizing them—including a…
