Jael seems more concerned with blaming the Dems for things that MAGAts are doing than blaming the MAGAts for doing them.

Its because they're supposed to have a plan to stop it. You get mad at your goalie if they always let the ball in; why would you get mad at people who obviously don't care about trans people? What would getting mad at Florida Rs accomplish for trans ppl beside making you comfortable?

sniffit.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's because you would rather blame your would-be allies for what MAGAts are doing than blame the MAGAts for it. Just like the broken Zombie Fourth Estate that treats the Dems as the only people with any agency, the portion of progressives who spend every waking hour hating the Dems ...1/

2/...do the same thing, treating everything bad as the Dems' faults even when it was the MAGAts who did it. It plays right into the MAGAts hands and is partly why we will now watch them gain permanent kkkristofascist minority rule while we have no unified opposition and continue to lose elections.

They're the ones not unifying by not acting in trans ppls interests at the federal level. You dont get to blame the other side when Biden has been in office for 4 years sorry. No amount of maoist standard english erases the power gap btw a sub 1% minority and the entire leadership of the dem party

State in detail and with specificity what Biden and the Dems should have done while not in control of the House that would get us exactly what we want. Game it out, provide the mechanics so we can all agree that it would have 100% achieved the goal.

There are a couple hundred individuals who are Dems in Congress. If a few of them fail to provide votes, blaming ALL Dems still makes no sense, is a hyperbolic overreaction and seems more about feeding perpetual outrage and protest-posture than finding solutions to get what we want.

She's not "blaming" anyone. She's saying that Democrats have the votes to stop this. If they don't stop it, yes, that's on them. Stop making excuses for Dems caving before they've even caved. Jesus Christ.

sniffit.bsky.social•82 days ago

One other post on the subject is not "filled with this shit" and your instant resort to finding a way to devolve into ad hominem is evasion. I promise you we're on the same side. Disagreeing on strategy is not a reason for personal attacks, purity policing and trying to defame someone.

sniffit.bsky.social•82 days ago

DO they have the votes? When a handful of idiots don't provide votes, the blame will be on ALL Dems, not on the MAGAts who did it and not on just the few who failed to provide votes. Just like the press, people on the left who want to tear down the Dem party treat them as at fault for EVERYTHING.

And your timeline is filled with this shit. Get lost. https://bsky.app/profile/sniffit.bsky.social/post/3lcy2k6nhv22c

if dems vote for Maga policies whose fault is that?

sniffit.bsky.social•81 days ago

The dem who did it. Blaming ALL because a small minority of them behave in stupid, ridiculous, self-serving or disloyal ways is hamfisted overgeneralization...literally designed to prevent the entire left-of-center to progressive cohort from compromising enough with each other to form a coalition.

trueflint.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ugh, where is the "I like this post but not its subject matter" button? Or "This post is important but I don't like where this is going?"

danielleoster86.bsky.social•82 days ago

The details of that Florida policy are so horrific: "...staff ranked women’s breast size using a scale designed for adolescents. Those whose breasts were deemed big enough were allowed to keep their bras. Everyone else had to surrender theirs, along with...women's underwear and toiletry items."

The GOP obsession with children's genitalia is super weird and creepy.
