This is what lost us the 2016 & 24 elections, we can’t get perfect. Just think if all of those who didn’t vote in protest of Gaza, would Gaza (homeless, trans) be better off in a democracy or a plutocracy, a democracy or inverted totalitarian system, a democracy or tech Zionism, democracy or ????
you're point is excellent, albeit it appears to be falling on deaf ears
Her are point is excellent Get the Ukraine flag off your profile, collaborator
Not sure who you think is "us" here, Monica. I voted Green rather than vote for a genocide candidate. If your "us" is bothered by people who won't vote for the "us" candidate because they won't vote for genocide & you think you lost because of that, then get a candidate who doesn't support genocide.
By us I mean anti-fascist….. seriously, so you voted green, and the orange man one, and that’s not good for Gaza. So you just helped usher in a ‘different’ genocide candidate who wanting water front property to develop. Good job! Bravo!
Jill Stein was such a joke too. I will die on that hill. Cornell west was my go to
How well did nominating a terrible candidate, refusing to compromise with the left in any way, then just telling anyone who complains they don’t have a choice go in the last few elections? Pick better candidates.
You should listen to trans people instead of dismissing their perfectly valid concerns. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...
Parker Molloy goes into more detail on the Shawn Ryan interview in this thread: bsky.app/profile/park...
Gaza policies were carried out by Democrats. They gave cover to Israel and its genocide. Just think what could have been if they didn't rush bombs over to explode Palestinian children.
Gavin Newsom passed the SAFETY ACT in California protecting trans kids. California is one of the safest states for Trans community

The podcast was lame- but he did pass the SAFETY ACT protecting trans kids.
Yes, it protects trans kids from forced outing by their teachers. That's notable, but the podcast clip is specifically about Gender Affirming Care for trans youth. By caving to conservatives, Newsom is signalling that he doesn't care about their medical wellbeing (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
Nothing he talked about on the podcast became law. Judge people by their actions not words.

You are moving the goalposts.
Well I just feel like laws and policy carry a tremendous amount of weight. And to act like Gavin Newsom is anti-trans is demonstrably false.
It's true he didn't expand access to licensing for health care providers for trans people, but California already has one of the best systems for protecting and helping the trans community. hence Cali being the safest states to live as a trans kid.
What? Please explain. You think Bibi would’ve just stopped? You think Trump taking office would’ve magically ended the aggression? Oh wait, Trump did take office and he did post ai generated memes of Trump Towers on Gaza beach front property. If Trump stays in office we’ll ALL need protection.
if he had no money, no weapons, no tactical and material support, his country's social services (we pay for universal healthcare and education there), and let the international courts at him as they should, there's no question he would have stopped. He wouldnt have had the choice.
Newsom betraying trans & unhoused folks isn’t a reason to shove him into the GOP, it’s a reason to organize, demand, expose. Protest is power. But protest without precision just hands the wheel to those who want us erased. #FAFO 1/2
Yes, Democrats enabled Gaza’s horror. But abandoning the field doesn’t protect the vulnerable, it buries them. Rage is righteous. Strategy must be sharper. We need more than disgust. We need leverage. Coalition building is the key, and compromise isn’t weakness it’s political reality. #FAFO 2/2
another tankie with the room temperature iq. so tired of your ilk
Notice the type of people who are always asked to sacrifice their rights. Moreover, ICE must be abolished
I agree. People need to put their pet issues aside for this one. The ONLY issue out there is saving American democracy.
Transgender rights are not a "pet issue".
Civil rights are not pet issues.
That's true. But at present, the American government is not functioning and needs to be put back together. Civil rights mean nothing if laws about them are ignored.
So as long as your civil rights are protected, others’ are negotiable?
Gen X white women gave us Trump, but here you are, punching down. Go take a running jump and fuck the moon
