    We have fascists looking to kill people and the Dems want to play identity politics.

    Now is not the time. To be honest, there may not ever be a time unless all of the baby boomers die, gen x gets a clue, and gen z males walk back Nazism.

      protecting marginalised people at a time when they’re being directly targetted isn’t “identity politics”

        You can’t protect anyone when you virtue signal and lose the vote.

        Just ask the Palestinians.🙃

              Because you, and people like you, won’t show up to the polls if this is the focus of the next election. That’s what you’re trying not to say. You’re reminding us that the MAGAts are going to show up, but that you don’t find this issue compelling enough to actually turn out on election day, and you fear that too many others feel as you do.

              I’d like to see trans protections and support included in a Universal Healthcare bill that puts the entire medical insurance industry out of business. The Universal Healthcare aspect is why I’m going to the polls, and it would be nice if there were some guarantees in that to ensure that trans care is included in “Universal”.

              Universal Healthcare is what I will be looking for when I go to the polls this fall. While I’m there, I’ll support every trans issue I can find. Fortunately, there isnt much anti-trans horseshit from the people who support Universal Healthcare, nor anti-healthcare horseshit from the trans community. Support for either is support for both.

              It seemed like you were drawing a connection between attempting to, or at least signalling that they wanted to, protect trans people and losing.

      They know without a doubt this won’t make any traction and will just get booed out of the public space right now, this whole performance is hurting trans rights and equality broadly.

      But I’m quite sure they know that and are doing this on purpose.
