Oh. Good.

Bluesky is run by the founder of twitter, which took far too long to ban Trump the first time round. I don't know why so many people are giving him another chance to do the same shit again.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Dorsey left.

If Democrats are so damned serious about making sure Republicans don't win, THEY can stay out of the race.

Texas' Hinojosa, when asked about Democrats' willingness to stand for trans rights, said the only part out loud: "I think what the Democratic Party has to realize is that there's some things that we can support and some things that we cannot. And when we're pressed upon to take votes of these kinds that we need to be cognizant of the long term consequences of these kinds of votes."

He has since announced that he will be resigning effective March 2025, which is after the party elects a new chair. He has no incentive to listen. Not that he ever did. At least he's leaving. Good fucking riddance. It's a shame it didn't happen years ago, but he will not stand with trans people, and he absolutely will not move to the left under any circumstances.

I'm still going to do my bit and contact his office, but I harbor no illusions about him. What other avenues do Texans have?

Why not just orchestrate a takeover of the Green Party? Then extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for not running.

Of course, this would mean that Democrats care about winning instead of donations.

Point me to a moment during the last campaign that Kamala promoted identity politics.

They can't. But the alternative is admitting that moving to the right has failed, and centrists will never do that.

Middle America is about 20y behind the rest of us, this is the 90s gay marriage situation all over again. If the DNC actually wants to win elections they need to stop putting narrow identity groups front and center

The RNC did that. Democratic candidates, in their trademark panicked cowardice, parroted right wing bigotry about boys in girls' sports in their own campaign ads.

Most of the time, when Democrats mentioned trans people at all, they were making sure to let everyone know that they didn't have their backs. Add that to breaking solidarity with Muslim voters, and you have a party that broadcasted that it was eager to throw vulnerable populations under the bus.

There was never any semblance of a bar.

Why would he quit? He did what he was hired to do.

Which is also what happens if you're progressive and vote Democrat.

Today, on "we can't admit that Democrats' strategy of running to the right has failed."

Oh, he stands up for what he believes in. Just as soon as Netanyahu tells him what that is.

If we're very lucky, we can get it so it's a stealth progressive against a stealth progressive.

MSNBC called Sanders supporters "brownshirts" but had no such vitriol regarding the January 6 insurrectionists.

They should just run fake centrists in the Democratic Party and then turn all progressive when they get into office.

Like centrists did with the fake progressives Fetterman and Sinema.

Hell you mean? I voted for her. I was not required to be happy about it.

Weak.

"Our genocide is the second worst genocide" has proven to be an unconvincing message.

Lol nobody has ever bought the “people who voted for Harris like genocide” shit.

I voted for Harris. People like you who see opposition to genocide and immediately start screaming "trumper," on the other hand, do support genocide.

The part where you pretended that this was the opposite of my opinion. At this point, I'm certain you're just gaslighting because you don't want to admit that the genocide you support is wrong.
