I guess what I'm saying is these "reasonable" centrist voices exist to convince weak-minded people w/o moral compasses that terrible centrist ideas are reasonable, so when someone tries to sound reasonable by espousing centrist ideas, it makes me think they are weak-minded & lacking a moral compass.
Look this is wild but maybe the reason centrist pundits tell Democrats to not talk about certain "unpopular" topics is because many centrists actually like unpopular conservative policies more than they like popular leftist policies, and would prefer it if Republicans win elections.
EVEN DONALD TRUMP says his immigration policies hurt him in the midterms. The strategists who said Democrats ”shouldn’t talk about” ICE and deportations because “immigration is a bad issue for Democrats” have been proven wrong, by the president himself

Veggie Tales is not my jam, but Vischer’s very reasonable and moderate takes becoming divisive is something that has endeared him to immensely.

this was a joke but also serious, don’t try to reach consensus on time and place imo. just pick something reasonable
my recommendation is that instead of asking if people want to meet up you should say “we are doing a meet up at such and such a time” ideally a week or so after a generationally winning election

Overall you don't want to sound like a radical, you want to sound like a reasonable person making reasonable points. Sounding like a radical sounds good to you and the people who agree with you, but it's the reasonable points that change minds by short circuiting the skepticism.

I’m honestly asking. Not in a dick way. Why did Jeffries allow 11 Dems to miss the Hegseth impeachment vote today? If there’s a reasonable explanation, I’d like to hear it. Again, I’m honestly asking. No shade. What’s the deal?

My most strongly held position on AI is that the companies should be held to reasonable legal/ethical standards. Intellectual property theft? Illegal, punishable by law. Environmental regulations should apply; no polluting without accountability. They should be liable when their "agents" break laws.

The website claims that “manually writing descriptions for the remaining tens of thousands of objects in any reasonable time frame was not realistic,” but what is a reasonable time frame and how might hiring a dedicated team achieve that goal? None of this is stated bc it’s not on the table.

Wait, but I think it’s completely reasonable to know if the huge incoming majority believes Hegseth (or Trump, etc.) should be removed from office and should attempt to do so.
That’s a reasonable thing to want your elected leaders to tell you up front.

![In 2021, Jentleson co-founded the political consultancy Battle Born Collective with Rebecca Kirzner Katz, also a former communications director for Reid.[13] That same year, Jentleson's partner came out as nonbinary and began to transition, causing them to split. Among this development, Jentleson began urging the Democratic Party to recalibrate its position away from the left on issues involving transgender sports participation and access to healthcare.[14]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:faqikui3tp2gjvbncliicd47/bafkreifus2yke5vuaesmxpqgtusedk5j2ytj6kyubvuj7i3gigdehmuq3e)

its impossible to take a genuinely "lets try to be somewhat reasonable" position online because even if you agree 99% with someone they'll treat you like an enemy and wont distinguish between you and the people who say "lets try to be somewhat reasonable" but are fully bad actors

Wow this is huge if the UK wants to rejoin the EU, this ruling links legal gender recognition to freedom of movement, it also overrides local Supreme Court rulings effectively banning LGR.
So the UK SC ruling effectively making the Gender Recognition Act 2004 meaningless would likely be affected.
