SCOOP: Sarah McBride and other Dems have discussed how the party must accept Ds with differing stances on trans rights to not alienate people
“We have to create more space in our tent,” she told me

I honestly thought it would be abortion, but they just don’t seem motivated to win at all costs even there.
How are they this stupid?
Tomorrow: ‘Why isn’t our lazy imitation of maga garnering us any support?!’
🥴
wait what"
"spotted big cat that could and, if given the opportunity, probably WOULD, eat your face"
It’s stating the unquestionable Value and Commitment to/of Human Rights🧏🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Words have Power.
Why don’t have EDNA Coverage….

Democrats should all believe all people deserve equal rights.
"That's a teeny issue that should be handled on an case-by-case basis. What about taxing big corporations and billionaires so they pay their fair share?"
And I think the problem we have is we don't stand together. We don't stand our ground.
And maybe the thing we stand together on is caring about trans people, and we don't divide over the more minor or nuanced things.
I really doubt she ever had a path of least resistance to be where she is atm.
What the Dem Party needs is politicians who hold the views of Democratic voters not just politicians who wish they were Republicans.
She's bullshitting you because they're proposing the opposite: they propose alienating the majority of people under 45. The Democratic Party is literally dying because of "Big Tent" bigotry.
Trans people are human beings. This isn’t negotiable for me.
I know a bunch of trans women who started their own pickup basketball league for this reason. I presume they’ll start getting shit for that too before long.
The Trans Groomer narrative is a load of horseshit. Every accusation is a confession.
(Personally I think it's also "real" for trans kids to be othered in school sports, but we gotta be pragmatic.)
Many of the civil rights laws/ rulings were wildly unpopular when they were passed to the point of actual riots. A mere 60% disapproval rating is nothing.
no, you lose to MAGA because you guys stand for nothing.
and you WILL lose if you give an inch on school sports, i guarantee it.
Abortion took a similar route in the Dem party platform (not that anyone was ever ok with that).
They are pretending to care about women's sports because it can be used to drive a wedge between their opponents and the women they want to protect will be discarded the moment they've served their purpose.
mass death is where it ends. extermination.
have you considered getting a gun? taking a Stop the Bleed class? packing a bug out bag?
“Stopping it from getting worse” isn’t enough, oligarchy is literally already here
It doesn’t really feel like a coalition when you have Pelosi mocking out hallmark policy package and saying shit like “green new dream, or whatever”
The changes make it completely incoherent and reek of editorial cope after McBride's office got mad at them for the backlash.
What if multimillionaire Bobby Allbritton isn’t the Bold Nonpartisan Truth Teller he pretends he is.
My read here is that McBride rightly got backlash and then her office took it up with the editor, who tried to do damage control. The result is, as I said, ideologically incorherent.
But trans people aren’t welcome in that tent, I guess.
No, you don't need space in your tent for people who think human rights are optional for some people.
Someone who is supposed to be your ally who betrays you is so much worse than someone who just openly hates you
This is also how they shut down the original Civil Rights Movement with the help of the older movement leaders.
Quisling. Do Democrats really think this will end up any different than their milquetoast fight for abortion? Which begs the question, do they even care?
20% approval rating but there's no way they'll change their strategy of embracing bigots.
hey liberals, get this through your head. appeasement never works! we’re not voting for anyone who throws trans people under the bus.
A lack of real alternative over a system crisis which was sustained by a sclerotic bipartisanship of neoliberalism.
It's like picking between ebola and cancer. Both illness, although cancer can kill you slowly.
Over 30 years, 100 normal families who spiral into 2000 normal families are worth more than you and a thousand of your best friends today.
Enjoy it.
Into the contraption, there’s no room for your kind in the future I am sorry I do not make the rules
Please, get some help man. There’s a better world.
maybe don't demonize us?
PROTIP FOR THE BELOW-AVERAGE YOU: statistics are numbers published as the result of a formal study, not ones you pick out of the air
So I mean...there's a good chance the majority of you freaks are gonna be gone in a few generations.
you're a vile eugenicist either way
Swing and a miss.
Oh you mean socialism is rainbows and sex workers or some shit
Actually, most people are fine with making fun of commies and bugmen.
Like if you're better than this, go fuckin do that lol
Internet noise here doesn’t translate to a voting block.
Can go fuck yourself.
Awww… go back to recess, child. You’re not fully formed yet.
If you’d like it in a way you understand, like a computer manual or something, we can make that happen.
-Dems 2024 campaign
…and they expected that to work???
minors couldn't vote back then, so maybe shape up and take part in doing the work to help fix this shit for the future you're blowing off with this kind of stagnant bs.
Do you understand object permanence?
Because -the people who could codify those things did not do so-. You seem convinced shielding Democrats' inaction when in power is productive.
Well done.
Hint: It wasn't Obama.
You may be out of your depth here
Then name the Republican senator who was going to cross over.
Sarah McBride probably wishes more people had voted for Kamala Harris vs. staying home or voting for someone who wants to erase trans people from the military and public life.
Merriam Webster: one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.
sounds like you're a lot more obsessed with purity tests and a lot less capable of compromise.
I dont like this either but thats just how it is.
mcbride should really be ashamed tbh
We need to guide the people back to acceptance, not bow to manufactured moral panics.
She doesn’t speak for the Black, Brown, Indigenous, or Trans Communities.
And She doesn’t hold water for most White Trans Folx, either.
Seriously though, why isn't her opinion valid? Even if she's ultimately wrong, why say she doesn't get to have her opinion considered?
I'm all for coalition parties but there have to be *some* barriers to entry, like being a bigot and/or a goddamned fascist. At the *least*.
Glad-handing bigots and fascists got us in this mess.
End of the day, it'll be ordinary citizens doing the heavy lifting to push the fash out. The Dem's singular role is to support and inspire us.
They're failing miserably.
Tho no one is going to want to do that if the political party in charge of their campaign is home to people that want to make us all dead.
Ever....fucking...green:
Surely this has always worked well and has definitely never failed.
I'm so tired and discouraged. I wish people weren't so heartless for money.
Dead party
We’re already suffering as it is in this environment and she has to go and say the quiet part out loud…
The idea of a “big tent” is to welcome everyone…
Neoliberals surrender.
In every way.
Every time.
Even if it threatens their existence.
Because of the conflict that puts their capital interests before any human ones.

"But oh no we don't want to make people with horrible opinions to feel bad about it"
Fuck that, they should feel bad!
Seriously? No. People are people. DEI is good. Stop trying to meet in the middle. Hard left wins when you stop trying to stop your own people.

Tell her she's selling out trans people.

She's one of those trans women committed to proving the world she's "more than trans" but she's wearing that scarlet letter whether she wants to or not.
We never saw John Lewis saying he was cool with racists who wanted him to use another bathroom.
Which is it? Do Dems defend trans kids or not?
Regards
Stop protecting Vichy and shut the fuck up.
Hey cis ally who constantly asks what you can do to help the trans community, don't listen to this dipshit and call McBride out on her own internalized bullshit
But seriously, Sarah McBride is a total piece of shit.
who the fuck do you think you are?
you think it is in any way appropriate to talk about "unfathomable obstacles" being experienced by the rich fucking nepo baby who is friends with the last old fuck to serve as president to trans people living in the shit everyday?
🖕
She may mean well, but this is not the way.
For me, it feels like punching down, though. I'm mad at the rest of the dems for not circling the wagons.
Im a single issue voter.
Appeasement doesn't work. It's why Neville Chamberlain is only remembered as a loser.
It's 1-1=0
Socialist? Get outtaere!
Trans? Allowed with caveats.
Do us a favor and don't half-ass your progressivism.
It’s how We All are where We All are today🤷🏽♀️
We can accept people with differing stances on all sorts of things, but not on human rights.
That’s basically saying, “Yeah, Vlad only sees us as cattle to be eaten, but we need his vote!”
If you think Sarah McBride is saying Democrats should be ok with transphobia and limited rights, why do you think she would say that, as a trans person herself?
You can say, “we should rethink what a ‘girls team’ means in light of trans folks”. That’s a fine discussion for us to have as a society: what the point of gendered or sexed teams is.
You don’t get to be partial human rights though.
Maybe we want to have sports leagues based on hormone levels, like boxing weight classes. We can have that talk without trying to claim that transwomen aren’t women.
(I would never vote to ban, fwiw.)
"One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice FOR ALL" all this bigotry is just chatter to keep our minds off the real issue which is that our government is in the process of transforming from a Democracy to a Dictatorship, and we are allowing it to happen
This does not mean we should eliminate weight classes in boxing, end separate women's sports, or forbid sports organizations to figure out how to deal w trans athletes.
It's complicated.

WE DO NOT COMPROMISE ON PEOPLES' HUMAN RIGHTS.
even our own people sell us down the river
“We have to remove trans people to create more space in our tent,” she told me
What a pathetic fucking quisling.
