I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Whenever I see “Dems have to appeal to the center!” I wonder two things:
1) when have they not appealed to the center;
2) do they think all those “center” voters will just shrug if the Dems shift left* after the election?

*yes I know this won’t happen LOL

Hitler was widely seen as a laughable buffoon by his contemporaries. How did that turn out, or are you just an expert on 1930s Germany and didn’t study the 1940s?
You can’t laugh your way out of fascism. Christ alive liberals and their brainrot

I hate to bring politics into this, but it’s basically how people didn’t vote for Kamala cause she was iffy on Gaza, so now Trump is president and Gaza is all but dead

But you already got what you wanted! Not even a full year ago! Dems ran a center-right campaign aimed exclusively at what you consider centrists(committed GOP voters) while abandoning lgbtq people and every other progressive cause and vulnerable group. Remember what happened?

Collage of posts by American liberals after the 2024 election. Highlights include: "I'm done feeling empathy for these people"; "Well I guess the reasons their home countries are so crappy is that they're actually not that smart?"; "I guess I am for deportation now."

Superimposed on the collage is text in the style of Dark Souls, reading "LIBERAL SCRATCHED", in reference to the saying 'scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds'.

Two years.

We’ve watched a genocide for two years.

We’ve watched fathers carry what remains of the children in plastic bags for two years.

We’ve watched world leaders gaslight us for two years.

What we allow, we become.

Palestine must be free.

before everyone pretended to give a shit about Israel's crimes, there was the march of return. it was a peaceful demonstration and it perfect for displaying the brutality of their zionist opponents and the world at large, including you, Asha Rangappa, weren't moved at all

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 1d

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
