the other thing about this dude’s “opposition” to aggressive war is he is also a “ukraine should just surrender to putin” guy

I feel like I am going insane when I read stuff like this. Trump was the fucking president and he was a hawk who filled his administration with hawks! Mike Pompeo was the secretary of state for christssake!

Trump’s position in 2016 was that the only wars worth doing were wars of conquest! He spent his entire first term either escalating existing conflicts or trying to start new ones! He criticized Biden for opposing attacks on Iran! What is this guy even talking about?!?

it's an case study in republican influence. overreach, back off, and then make dems stand up for those same principles over and over again, knowing that they always break. every time.

there is no more ironclad rule in politics right now than Dems Will Break
their right flank will move right and the libs will move towards them. every topic, every issue, every time.

I'm not linking to her story because she gives away the ghost in the first sentence, "Ranked-choice voting might better reflect voter preferences,"
She cloaks everything else behind wanting order, but none of that is true. She's just afraid of a system that will upend the current social order

For example: there's things I'd quibble with here (e.g., the numbers), but I'd say this is broadly accurate. I have interacted with trans advocates who literally measure their success by social media metrics; you've likely followed and reskeeted them a bunch.

As is often the case with huge blocks of text that take ages to read, people are putting out ChatGPT-level hallucinations of what McBride actually said in the interview. She is not "victim-blaming the trans community for our predicament" nor "ignoring the hate machine directed at us."
