We should really redefine some political terms.

#Centrist should be called #Conservative, because they are fine with the status quo: "Racism is bad, I don't want any more of it. "Anti-LGBTQ is bad, I don't want too much of it (but the T and Q are weird groomers)."
"Sexism is bad, but main characters in games who are girls is virtue signaling".

Conservatives should be named #Regressives, because they want to push the clock backwards:
"Racism is cool, women are inferior, gay people are demons",

ah, conservatives and their moral panics

the first thing to note about those "#conservatives" is that they're not actually "conservatives" but #regressives ...

There’s no point #Labour #winning unless it promises to dismantle our toxic #electoral #system - #Neal #Lawson

"#FPTP is the #toxic glue that holds together a centralised winner-takes-all system, privileging the interests of the already powerful and a few #swing #voters in a few swing #seats, tilting our #politics to the #right whoever wins. #PR would weaken the grip of #regressives on our country simply by making #every #vote #count, helping #progressives win office and real #power"
