"If we throw minorities under the bus, Republicans will stop calling us too woke" is the same logic that got us Clinton's welfare cuts and Obama's immigration crackdowns.
You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem.

This rebuke of advocacy groups always claims to be a rebuke of pronouns, but in reality it's a rebuke of standing for anything. It's a total refusal to share a vision of a prosperous future for ordinary people. It's an abdication of responsibility. And it's why they want advocates to shut up.

I wonder how much of this shift is due to foreign interference producing massive amounts of rightwing/conspiracy content.

Also, with the GOP’s rightward lurch, appealing “to the middle” is more conservative with every passing moment.
Policy positions aren’t necessarily reflected in “appeals” (as with see with Trump’s campaign rhetoric v policies such as re inflation).

There is *nothing* you can do to appease being slammed by the right because the slamming is the point. They're not engaging honestly in political discourse.
Liberals insist on living in a Sorkinian fantasy
I was! My first vote was for Mondale in 1984.
Being a liberal (never mind a leftist) in that era made you a real freak as far as most people were concerned.
Clinton moved us as far to the left as was possible in that era. And it was awesome.
If the six million leftwing voters who showed up for Joe in 2020 had made the same effort for Kamala in 2024, we wouldn't be in this mess.
How many people know Obama deported that many people? Mostly only left wing migrant advocates. The exact people you don’t want to hear about it.
Fucking BINGO 🎯
This is where “vote blue no matter who” ends up… People need to wake tf up.

You cannot defeat fascists with a facts-based appeal. First, you have to show that them there is nothing to fear from trans people and immigrants and Black people.
Being self-righteous is fun, but if you don't win, you don't get to change anything.
Dems don’t do that. It’d be stupid to use it, but necessary?
Dems: “You keep calling us woke, sorry, you are right as a symbol of me being bipartisan you can have your 4th reich”
We could "win" a lot more by changing sides, sure, but that does seem like victory to me. I for one would rather lose in the service of doing the moral thing than capitulate to evil
