Ah that’s right. When we’re tired of nitpicking and purity testing we can always fall back on the “both sides” argument. It’s so transparent at this point.
Aren’t you ignoring the article and engaging in an ad hominem attack on OP? Block them if it bothers you.
As a trans woman trapped in a red state, I would feel a lot safer if the dems would actually take a concrete position of whether I can continue existing. It might actually be important enough that I stay home in November, because so far Biden has done almost nothing (some easily undone executive actions and guidelines) and Kamala isn’t talking about it at all (at least more than empty validation and hug boxing)
The dems are not just as bad as the right, but they’re bad enough on some key issues (trans rights, the supreme court, and the US backed genocide of Palestine) blue no matter who is just ignorant and naive.
I understand this issue is a matter of personal safety for you… but hopefully you can understand why the Biden administration “has done almost nothing”. The way the US government is set up has several branches, where the Presidency under the Executive Branch is just one of them, for most issues he’s done what can be expected of a typical President and more.
The Legislative Branch has been taken over by the Republican House Circus. That’s where normally laws are supposed to be written. The Judicial Branch Supreme Court’s faults are with Roberts, Trump’s appointees, and ultra-corrupt Thomas. They are interpreting the Constitution and the rules Congress wrote in whatever way fits their oligarch friends’ needs. That’s 2 out of 3 government branches, that aren’t Blue, if they were, Biden would have been able to do a hell of a lot more.
The only thing imo Biden has no good excuse for, is the series of blank cheques he’s been giving Israel to commit genocide. If that’s your make-or-break, I’m sorry, you have no good options. Your best bet may be to hold your nose.
That’s actually the point drunk me was trying to make last night. The only thing being talked about in the media is the presidency but we are so truly screwed because the president can’t do anything about it, really. They can issue some executive orders and set policy. Even if Kamala gave a speech on just trans rights, there is nothing she can actually do unless the other two branches have been also claimed by the dems and even then good luck when texas passes a law that gets sued to the supreme court and overturns gay marriage.
There is nothing wrong pointing out failings with the Dems. From what I’ve seen, only blue states are fighting to preserve trans rights. Tim Waltz has been very vocal about keeping government out of the doctors office. You seem hyper focused on the office of the presidency. The reality is the president can only do so much. We need down ballot votes to give them the power to do what needs to be done. We need to bring the fight to all levels and stop typer-focusing on the presidency. We need to build coalitions. We need to keep a seat at the table - not disengage.
The issue is this account spams the same shit non-stop day in and out. Right now I don’t believe in blocking people -yet. I have mixed feelings about blocking. The reason I’m attracted to these platforms is because I want to hear different points of view.
Gurl… I don’t oppose Democrats because I’m on the same side as Republicans. I oppose Democrats because they’re on the same side as Republicans.
