I presume you are talking about me when you and others keep on referring to "centrist", of course you are, your whole post actually seems directed at me, which is bewildering.

The OP was talking about people in general

"You could say you don't want Trump to win but bring up a negative about Biden/Harris and you have grown men shouting rapist in a flurry of post"

You have completely missed the point, as usual.

Thats the whole crux of the matter thought isnt it. Anyone who doesnt agree with the echo chamber is a Trump supporter, a rapist sympathiser, a Nazi, mentally retarded, inbred or whatever other vile insult is in vogue.

I am a centrist, scoff all you may, somehow you and others believe than anyone you doesnt think Trump is the devil incarnate is a far right Nazi.

You do realise he got 70m votes last time and will probably get more this time so just castigating 70m people is horrendously ignorant.

100% agree. Some people who post in support of Trump gets a warning for certain things said about Biden, then a Biden supporter gets away with the same thing about Trump.

Trump supporters report genuine personal abuse and receive no response.

I don’t think any mod in fairness is going to address these issues from the last few weeks as simply the whole threads have moved on and it would just take way too much time with little positive outcome- but certainly if a “genuine” Trump supporter wishes to engage in debate then certainly they should be permitted to -

It must be said though if you’re supporting some of the statements Trump and camp have said about say “non-reproductive” women, and wish to have a conversation about that whilst supporting their stance , you may have to negotiate your way carefully - I’m afraid you’re on your own 😀

I started this thread complaining about abuse when stating “Trump is ahead in polls” when true. And purely stating it as fact not to rile people

Whether that continues who knows- I’d like to see more wider conversation and debate around why there are such views in America and why Trump has so much popularity and why such statements are being made- and if you truly agree then state your case and ask for a debate -I think discussion should be about learning and growth- it’s too easy to deride Trump and his policies, but he could well be the next president albeit possibly lowering chances of that as the days and weeks now progress - but doesn’t mean we can’t have a conversation around why such positions outlined by Trump resonate with so many in America- that’s certainly worth discussing .

Lest anyone doubt there aren't "centrists" flooding the thread with pro Trump \ anti Harris propaganda, take a look at the current exhibit on the thread, before a mod blitzes their account.

Claims not to be a Trump supporter, yet refuses to actually say anything bad about Trump.

Makes vague allusions to negative conduct by Democrats, can't even provide any when challenged.

Textbook.

A real "centrist" we would see a spread of posts, some positive, some negative about both sides. Importantly we would see them holding both sides to the same standards.

They never do. Instead we see a hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil about Trump and his reprehensible conduct.

Whereas for Harris-Biden even the most scurrilous mud will be slung.

Are you insinuating that I am posting as a rereg on The Trump/Harris thread ?

You have sunk to a new low now.

I work very long hours, I dont have the liberty of spending my days posting tit for tat garbage on a forum like you and many others.

I have no idea what you might think that. Curious reaction given that my post doesn't even mention a rereg. If I thought you were posting as a rereg on the thread, I wouldn't insinuate it, I'd report it, as is entirely proper to do as per boards standards.

I'm just calling out so-called 'centrists' who pretend not to be Trump supporters, and yet never post any unprompted criticism of Trump \ Republicans, never take a consistent line defending any Democrats or their policies. When they are quite obviously Trump supporters or 'sneaking regarders' of him. Their pretence is transparent, and their denials lack all credibility when they cannot point to any posts that actually show any 'centrist' positions at all. Their posts look exactly like someone here to bash Democrats, not to bash Republicans, zero evidence of holding both sides to equal standards.
And when it comes to Trump - hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Sometimes other posters can drag mealy mouthed weak criticisms out of them. But always their invective is freely delivered towards Democrats. The exact opposite of what an actual 'centrist' would do.

I'm sure you will agree any poster conducting themselves in such a manner in sinking to a "new low" by such a bad faith argument?

And in the context of this thread, probing questions about Trump's crimes, and court case for rape, are a quick way to puncture that facade.

And if that is what you think of the forum, it says more about you than anyone else than you take such an interest in it, and have many posts of your own on US politics. If you are as busy as you claim to be. And that's not me getting personal, you were the one who brought that onto the thread.
