In Scream 2, when Ghostface crashes the police car, Sidney had a good chance to seriously crimp the killers' plans by shooting one of them. Why didn't she

Whoever did the audio for "Tragedy Girls" (2017) really needs to learn what *volume* is. Because we can't hear something you but at -200000000dB.

I am choosing to interpret what Eric is saying as "we're pushing for candidates who will actually make changes and defend the rights of marginalized communities, instead of mere 'never Trumpers'".
I will vote for a "never Trumper" if I have no other choice, but I demand better from you now.

In the continuing saga of "multiple seemingly contradictory things can simultaneously be true", Eric is correct that House Dems overwhelmingly voted to respect trans rights. Even as the measure passed & recent history suggests Senate dems will disappoint us. Such is life, primary the anti-trans.
Not being contrarian for contrarianism's sake, but the fact that only three conservative Democrats from districts that voted for Trump voted for a trans care ban for minors should encourage trans people that they can make Democrats hold the line.

This particular bill doesn't appear to affect me, since I don't use any health care options to deal with my dysphoria as a gender fluid person.
However, it affects so damned many people, including friends of mine. And it's just cruelty for cruelty's sake. We need politicians who finally listen.

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

Astonishingly, it's 2.5 years before most people are going to vote in a primary. Newsom isn't the Democratic nominee for President in 2028. He is just a dude who probably will run for it. And if he's polling well now, historically, he'll flame out by New Hampshire.
I’m supporting the Democratic nominee because politics isn’t an all-or-nothing game. Progress is earned through sustained effort & hard fights over time, not overnight. The best path to protecting & expanding rights is giving Dems as much control of government as possible & pushing from there.

With two years before the primary for 28 begins, now is the time to call out the turd sandwich candidates in order to ensure they aren't on the ballot.
Name, shame, and make it clear they lack the support needed to win. So they don't waste our time.

While this person is clearly off-kilter. I do think that the 'if there is no perfect candidate, I'm not voting' is the thing that got the Democrats in trouble in the last election. Sometimes the election is between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich and you have to pick the least bad.

The Reagan age, during which a neoliberal rhetorical style associated with Reagan shaped both GOP & Dems, ran from 1980-2016, clearing the way for the even more dishonest Trumpocene. Newsom can’t decide whether he wants to rhetorically be like Trump or Reagan. Neither choice supports democracy.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."
