Why are you so invested in defending a party that's more worried about making sure they don't get rid of some hypothetical future president's ability to violate the constitution on their side than they are with what this president is doing to violate it right now? - ThreadSky

Just because individual democrats are doing things doesn't mean the overall party or the leadership has been doing anything. They've been too worried telling us that we have to throw trans people under the bus so we look "moderate" and assuring the donors that they won't get too radical.

Pelosi is more worried about throwing blame for minimal incidents on anarchists, and Schumer is worried that we won't go to war with Iran because that's what Netenyahu wants. Really, its totally fine if peopel want to tell Democrats they suck and should be doing better.

Because I know the midterms are literally just around the corner and if we spend the next year shitting on Dems and telling everyone how terrible they are, our chances of getting people out to vote are very, very challenging.

Are there things I wish they were doing differently? Sure.

They are fucking occupying Los Angeles, and drawing up plans to do the same to multiple US cities. That's an awfully long bet to assume there will be elections. How long do we have to keep pretending that we can ride out the storm?

You think people of color are going to want to get out the vote when they see that the federal government are literally sending troops out to target them? You think even if we have elections, they aren't going to use these tactics to turn away legitimate voters in likely non-Republican areas?

Just wait until next election got us people not holding impeachement hearings right after January 6th, so when they finally did, the Republicans that would have voted for it weren't scared shitless that he almost got them killed, and he was still elligible to run again.

But you are doing the reverse on trans issues that democrats are

energetic-nova.bsky.social•7 days ago

Democrats are defending trans rights and you are pointing to random individuals on the fringe who don’t.

Names and details. Its not the fringe running away from trans people. Its the people promising the donors that they'll keep them quiet. How many of them were in a uproar on day one of this administration when Trump tried to define gender for everyone?

100% of the house democrats cosponsored the equality act.

Only two voted to ban trans girls from girls sports.

Every democratic controlled state has trans rights.

I don't have the energy to show all the places where Democrats have failed to support trans people. Or immigrants. Or any number of people that need someone to stand up to them. Because all of my energy is gone from watching this administration march into a US city and occupy it.
