    The culturally normal thing is that my family, friends, colleagues and strangers all treat me like the woman I am and no one is losing their mind when I use the women’s toilet.

    “Tabletop issues instead of divisive identity politics” is the latest neoliberal shibboleth from Davos this year, in case you were wondering. I’ve heard that phrase come out the mouths of libs in the US, Canada, and the UK all in the last month.

    More focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter — the stacking of stress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and obviously housing costs.”

    Lmao they can’t and won’t even do that. They’re just pivoting from being the republican lite party to the republican party 2 the spectre of Reagan Rises

    Somebody here said something like, “Can’t wait for libs to tell me I’m responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul.” I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can’t wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom’s despicable rhetoric to melt away into “Blue no matter who” the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

      I have an inkling of hope that we won’t see a repeat of that narrative, especially if we’re dealing with poocum newsom. Chuck and Jeffies have really dropped the ball in terms of being an effective controlled opposition IMO the average lib has finally lost faith in democrats.

      We’ll still see all those libs go “welp I guess I gotta vote for this guy” because they can’t fathom a nonbinary decision but I think the vitriol towards those who can’t stand the dem candidate will be much lower than it was for Kamala (blue sky not included)

        They seemingly haven’t though. At least judging by the people I’ve talked to, in person, and online, people seem about as deluded as ever, trusting the suits on tv blaming everyone else for their losses in 2024.

        It three presidential elections with the worst possible choices as candidates in a row as the “safe” choice didn’t win them over, it will take something else to bring them around.

        It will take a barnstorming campaign, with populist rhetoric and the energy that goes with that, by an aggressive forceful candidate backed by organized groups and a slate of candidates up and down the line. And the odds of getting that are near zero it seems. Even without thinking of assassinations, that we would have to think about if it got popular, but at first we could do the barnstorming in person, at some point would need remote speeches, and our own security. Turn down secret service protection if you get the nomination, or relegate them away from the candidate to use as shields.

        some small part of me hopes that he beats out kamala to further disenchant liberals who keep getting fooled by the democrat’s cloak of social progressivism-in-name-only.

    For every do gooder they lose in the city, they will pick up two nazis in the suburbs! /s

    The mythical swing voters, yes, Americans really want to be assfucked by big monied corporations without consent, but just with kinder gentler words and government subsidized lube for the deserving. Crude analogy or no it fits.

    We are doomed with these guys in charge and somehow people still trust them.

    Democrats continue to be the most spineless fucking eejits in the world.

    And the liberals will continue to scream at minorities that we need to unconditionally support them so they can have their brunch and get their TikTok likes.

      Okay, the idea that every single person that vote republican must be some some secret fascist is somewhat wrong, from my perspective it is at least. Don’t get me wrong here, I know people that absolutely do vote like that because they are some of the worst human beings in existence. But there is something that so many of you just don’t understand. For context, I live in pretty much middle of nowhere rural ohio.

      The quickest way I can put this since I’m typing this up during break at work, is that a lot of you have no clue just how insufferable the mildest american liberal is if they got dropped in out here.

        I feel like if he is actually just tired of the issue he could just get it over with and give trans people rights.

        But most of all these ghouls love to talk about how there hey would rather talk about economic issues than pronouns when they really don’t. If they actually wanted to talk about populist economic issues they could just do that. Nobody is interrupting Newsom mid-sentences as he talks about expropriating the landlords.

        • indeed. not being “bogged down” by these issues is as easy as just extending universal civil rights to exist to everyone, instead of getting out a triangulation device to calculate what civil rights you can deprive which minority groups of and still be viable at the ballot box.

          apparently newscum believes he can achieve his goals while purging the trans community and the unhoused.

            He believes that because those are key to his goals. He just worries it will make him look bad to RESIST™ Libs if he out right says it

        • i mean i think they’re already at the point were they have finally convinced themselves you cannot politically afford to let a woman run for president, give the GOP another 3 years of abolishing public schools and the Dems will run on a “surely this time there won’t be bear problems when nobody collects the trash anymore” platform

        “pronoun pandering shit” you’re talking about real humans who are seriously hurt every single day by a system that refuses to acknowledge their right to exist. It’s not “pandering” it’s a fight for our fucking lives

        The regime has been putting women into men’s prisons and is now forcibly detransitioning them. They’re doing conversion therapy experiments on prisoners at this very moment. Women are going to die.

        If you give them an inch, they take a mile.

          That is shitty too because they will get abused particularly bad in prison, and not protected well. Just out of mean spiritedness on the part of the administration. It’s not like they are just hurting people they have actual opposition from, anyone that falls into the other category they will gleefully hurt them, then slander them to justify it.

        I think Trans people should have equal and fair rights and be able to get the medical help they need

        Well he keeps saying the exact opposite and vetoing bills we put before him. You downplaying his very real transphobia is a form of it by you your self. So I will assume you don’t actually believe that either and tell you to fuck off forever.

    I don’t remember a Democrat mentioning LGBT issues since Biden said there were at least 3 genders. Is he talking about their most popular AOC and Mamdandi or something? They don’t want to soullessly emulate the people who get votes?

      Technically they do want to soullessly emulate the people who get votes. They saw how Mamdani got elected on emphasizing affordability issues and now Newsome and his ilk want to glom onto that messaging without actually offering actual solutions to those issues.
