Have you spent any time in right wing spaces, or listened to the new generation describing themselves as “classical liberals”. They’re swing voters and it’s pretty important to them.
Yes, let’s just do everything we can to abandon every last minority centrists consider expendable in order to peel off a total of zero votes from fascists.
They’re not going to vote for you, no matter how many vulnerable minorities you throw under the bus. You’ve had fucking decades to figure this out, and it looks like you’re just throwing people under the bus because you like the thumping sounds.
All powerful me who you can attack rather than try to convince. A microcosm for your general approach of yelling. Your goals and demands, kept vague at best.
I doubt you even know what you’re asking for.
There’s a timeline to installing trans rights, it requires adjustments to the Supreme Court.
But I’m aware that you’re not thinking that far ahead in a planned or tactical manner, and your plans are: be loud, make demands, be radical.
But you’ve not actually outlined much more than that, so there’s nothing to debate with you.
Good day, good luck with your imaginary bus, and me as the all powerful deity controlling who gets pushed under.
No idea what you’re on about unfortunately, but you seem very vocal about whatever it is.
[Edit: No, I get it, you want to create a polemic against Trump’s obvious lies, treating them as if they’re worth addressing rather than let him melt under the scrutiny of the general population https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=i.redd.it%2fm2pzcfjk77md1.png… But that’s not necessary. Let’s not make his lies into a false balance situation. Just let him look foolish instead.]
I’m not setting timeframes, you literally can’t change Supreme Court judges during an election. You don’t even understand the basics of how rights or the systems involved work.
If your goal is to not let the Republicans win? Just look at what the Democrats at the various levels of government are actually doing even though they never make it a point to talk about it while they’re campaigning and understand that there’s a fucking good reason why they don’t.
Hell, you need to be pretty self centered to believe that trans people are the only repressed people that don’t get talked about but still benefit from having the Democrats in power vs the Republicans. They can’t cover every single group.
A. The goal should be to achieve progress, not win elections
B. That involves making the case for that progress, not capitulating to popular opinion that’s been fabricated by conservative media
But that’s only if you’re not operating on a dialectical-materialist political analysis, because if you were you’d understand that real progress can’t be made through simple electoral victories. Abandoning minority protections in exchange for electoral power is how America has operated since its founding.
Yeah the goal is to achieve progress and you won’t do that by alienating a big part of the electorate to cater the minority of the 1% of the population that is trans and doesn’t understand that open support for their cause might lead to a Republican government instead, which would be worse for them and for progress in general.
“A big part of the electorate” doesn’t care one way or the other about trans rights. All throughout centrist apologists have been saying “most people don’t care about Palestine enough to affect their vote”, they just want kitchen table progress. But somehow when the issue is trans rights, you people think it’s some vote-defining issue that will sink the election if there’s a single trans speaker in a weeklong convention.
Just the same old fucking white moderates doing the white moderate things King talked about.
I 100% believe that it’s the same thing with Palestine and you’ll notice that no more support for Gaza was announced either. Why? Because it’s not worth alienating Jewish voters when you can use their votes to win the election and then adapt the government’s stance on the question.
Trans rights are never brought up during the various electoral campaigns, yet Democrats actually do something to help when they’re elected at the different levels of government so maybe you should get the message that is not an issue that’s popular enough to increase the popular vote and that the votes gained from mentioning it will be less than the votes lost.

I’m sorry, their ““cause””? Is “we have a right to exist” the ‘cause’ you consider to be the thing alienating ‘a big part of the electorate’?
Why are you here? Go back to reddit, jesus christ.
Yes, open support by a politician for your right to exist alienates part of the electorate even on the Democrat’s side, open your eyes buddy, the trans right cause is controversial! Hell, people imagine trans everywhere at this point, just look at what happened during the Olympics! It’s not fair, it’s not right, it’s the fucked up world we live in, sometimes it’s better to shut up and guarantee a more progressive option takes power and does things to improve your situation without making a big fuss of it than to be loud and guarantee a more conservative option takes power and takes what little rights you’ve got at the moment. Unless you’re an accelerationist in which case all I would say is fuck you, but I don’t think you are!

Trans rights aren’t up for debate you spineless chud. How could anyone suggest the democrats are a left-wing party (or expect ‘progress’) if the democrats can’t even acknowledge that trans people have the right to exist? Why should anyone vote for them if they abandon civil liberties as soon as they become politically inconvenient?
Fuck off with your transphobic apologia. Democrats can fuck off, too, if they think they can abandon minority rights in exchange for political power.
I don’t accept that defending trans SAFETY is a losing election issue.
Doesn’t matter whether you accept facts or not, they’re still facts rofl

Still settin’ timeframes.
I’m aware that you’re stalling until the party can abandon trans people like it abandoned undocumented immigrants.
I’m not setting timeframes, you literally can’t change Supreme Court judges during an election. You don’t even understand the basics of how rights or the systems involved work.
And until then, we can’t acknowledge openly as a party that trans people are worth protecting. Makes sense.
Actually it already happened 5 days ago:
Biden administration restores protections for gay and transgender Americans seeking health care.
It is when that’s considered woke and you’ve got a ton of your own electors that have been brainwashed into thinking woke bad
Well fuck, if it’s considered woke I guess there’s nothing we can do 🤷♂️
