I only object to one thing in what he says:
“We can protect LGBTQ rights and basic human rights at the same time…"
They’re the same thing. It’s not like some people’s rights are an optional extra. Either everyone has basic rights or no one does. And that’s why it should be central to the political platform: abandoning it is abandoning your commitment to basic human rights, which should be pretty foundational.
Dude, we can’t get the majority of Americans to say civil rights are basic human rights after 60 years.
Speak to Americans at their level man.
This is the core of the messaging. Dropping one, doesn’t help you protect the other…it does the opposite.
Thats what we fucking told you. Its not just that its morally abhorrent: it also cost you votes. We’ve been building a set of moral and politically priorities within the DNC for 25 fucking years and then you fucking ran against them Harris. LGBTQ+ rights are at its fucking core. That’s why you fucking lost.
I think everything the administration did in power worked against her.
They ran on being better for migrants, continued the bullshit with them.
They ran on the wave of protests for Black lives. They armed the cops even more.
They ran on actually caring about the people affected by the covid pandemic. They just declared it over when it is obviously not and still killing and disabling tons of folk.
They were proud of their support of the genocide in Gaza.
They were obviously better than Trump, but how can you run as the good guys when you do all that? No one bought it.
The most frustrating thing of it all: they gained nothing for collapsing inwardly on their morals. The gained nothing and cost us everything.
Hey now, you’re forgetting the part where they gained over a billion dollars in donations. That’s what they sold out for.
Right! They just empowered the fucking fascists by conceding ground that should have been fought for. Fuck Joe Biden and Harris for all of eternity. Feckless losers
Maybe in 2028 they should run on continuing deportations and ending Medicaid then they’ll win.
I think that is iffy, but if they bring in the big guns of a Cheney to sell it I bet it will sell like hotcakes
Tim, please use your 2nd Amendment, and impeach the convict, toothless scum.
However, since Trump’s win, some Democrats have been accused of “selling out” trans people. In January, two Democrats voted with Republicans to ban trans women and girls from competing in women’s sports.
If it’s only two democrats doesn’t that mean they voted against their party? This isn’t the Democratic Party. It’s a couple outliers.
This seems like another bad faith “both sides r same”.
