Sarah McBride is saying we need to make room in the tent for people who want to outlaw our existence, meanwhile the president is posting about how excited he is to sell his enemies into international slavery

The “invite this arsonist into your house” admonishment is sadly evergreen.
Cozy cousin to the Democratic belief that the way they’ll win is by showing right wing white dudes that they’re willing to bigot hard, just like the Republicans.
Everybody who saw this coming in November got yelled at by the McBride fans.
Contemporaneously, my GF got called a ‘blithering moron’ by a prominent trans cartoonist for daring to point out that Democrats have actually been anti-trans for a long time.
The cartoonist responded by throwing a shitfit and insisting, despite the fact that Biden had just signed that bill banning gender care for TRICARE, that Democrats had never passed a single anti-trans law ever.
Anyway, I look forward to reading about how McBride voted for a budget bill that includes, say, a rider banning federal funds for any organization that provides gender affirming care in a few months.
It’s what I expect for Clintonian Democrats like her.
Everyone should call and yell at their electeds about how much you disagree with Sarah McBride on this, and demand that Democrats not compromise on trans rights (threaten to take your votes and leave if they do.) Only 10 contacts per elected (less than 3000 total) could move the needle.
"They rounded us all up and put us on an island to fend for ourselves, but we need to make sure we build a hut just for our oppressors to sleep in when they come visit to enjoy our suffering."
She is a great example of the inherent bankruptcy of DEI neoliberalism. All you can really get in the end is a shallow appearance of diversity undergirded by a deeply classist and homogeneous social Darwinism that speaks in the jargon of positive psychology.
Is she though? The excerpt I read only mentioned "splintering factions" ... was it more cautionary that in their interest to get support, Democrats not exclude other marginalized groups?
If it really is about working with GQP, then yeah that's totally not cool.
It's a really big tent, unless you have remotely progressive views or are looking for someone to represent you instead of the donor class. But if you're flirting with fascism the door is wide open friend!
If we capitulate enough they'll finally develop basic human decency, empathy, compassion, and care instead of continuing to be the literal definition of psychopaths.
Likely due to the fact that Sarah McBride is an idiot.
We get 'em all the time. Like cockroaches in a highway motel, you just gotta keep the light on at all times so they can't get comfy runnin around unchecked.
I think we should all try our best in our own lives to secure a better future for us all because there’s no guarantee anyone will bring hope to us. Any of us could be the one to do it for others.
This is why I’m fundamentally an anarchist. I don’t want anyone pushing me around or telling me what I can or can’t do. Just be kind and don’t hurt each other, that’s the only rule we need.
We do have a large tent, but I don't think we need to provide space to anyone that wants to harm or marginalize another group of people. Let them find their own tent, or better yet, a nice deep hole.

republicans: how can we turbocharge chattel slavery of american citizens and ensure we never have to hold another election again?
and these two things are happening in parallel

There is clearly something underlying here we don't see.
not that it matters, this sucks either fucking way

-it's called PRIDE, not McBRIDE

It's also why vbnmw is such bullshit
