Dems are gonna pull a Labour "victory" and squander it trying to act like anti-Trump Republicans are more important than 37 parts of the Obama coalition. They will accomplish nothing for the next two years then be surprised when the 2026 GOP Gerrymander takes back the House.

Here comes "Acceptable Fascism for Straight White Folks" ... so no change there for the last forty/fifty years.

It’s really really bad. The rhetoric is deafening at this point. I don’t know how we push them out of it when even the lgbtq organizations are still giving high ratings to candidates that turn up the temp on trans people. Not trying to be dooomer, but idk what to do.

It’s about time some of us work on loudly convincing the democrats that they aren’t guaranteed our support.

Come november there are gonna be ice agents arresting trans people for "voter fraud" for not having their birth certificate at the polls with them and or if thier legal name doesnt match.

People in video games lately have been like, "neenerneener youre not a human" We are fucked Shit libs are gonna throw us to the wolves only to lose anyway.

Glad you're playing sports, but too bad you're cutting your own throat and that of others on your side. That'll be your shame to carry.

Hey look! Another cissy in the trans people thread that was just waiting for an excuse to yell at trans folks! How's that projection going for ya bud?

I mean the Democrats are never going to actually meaningfully fight for us and protect us. The path to true trans liberation is a mass working class movement to overthrow capitalism

Also, when Dems are up as high as they are, it's not like you can pretend it's a desperation move needed to ensure victory. *Incumbents* are trotting this shit out.

Want to show me where Erin said anything remotely close to something that warrants this response? Or are you just here to yell at trans people?

So stand with minorities being targeted and stop trying to shame people into voting. If your candidate represents their wants and needs, they will naturally vote for them Stop pretending your harm is more important than harm to an entire minority

Eat shit, you old bitch

Sorry trans people aren't willing to be human shields for your comfort, maybe you should think about why that is.

"If I compare the lives and well being of trans people to mere eggs, I won't feel as bad about sacrificing them in my misguided attempt to court nazis!"

You can call out betrayal for what it is; it's not throwing the victory to the Rs.

And more to the point, *will* it help Democrats win elections, or are you just being sacrificed in exchange for nothing?

Your lack of fight is the reason for this term: bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you're worried about Trans votes, why don't you take all this energy and bitch at the DNC candidates who have decided to adopt GOP Transphobia as their platform, and tell them to cut it the hell out! Attempting to guilt a vulnerable minority into voting for their oppressors is a losing battle.

Do you truly feel like you deserve *any* of the things you think you're protecting more than trans people do?

*tapping the sign

Generally, what you do is focus on who’s currently being attacked most fervently in that moment. Or have you done this with every other social movement, crying about how others are hurting too? You said “all live matter” didn’t you?

Maybe you should demand that nobody get thrown under the bus. There isn’t a hierarchy. That’s the whole point. You’re saying that there is.

hi I'm trans and disabled and Jewish, and my girlfriend is trans and disabled and an immigrant incidentally, we're not talking about November 3rd, we're talking about the TWO WHOLE MONTHS in between then and now cis allies have a responsibility to call their Dem candidates

Blue maga is going to be blue maga 🤷‍♂️ y'all are ridiculous.

I'm not going to vote YOUR self-interest. You're not even nice.

We fight together or die alone

Explain in simple, logical terms why your disabled kid, your bodily autonomy, and your Mexican husband are inherently more valuable than trans people.

Of course you think there's a hierarchy to suffering. Fascist.

The Democrats will also abandon your child and husband. And there will be less people to fight because you already sold out other minorities.

At the very least what you can do to show solidarity is not scold people for being upset that they are being targeted by their own party. It costs you nothing.

All of them. Equal rights means equal rights. I don’t know why liberals can’t understand that.

Definitely the latter, yeah. If you don't understand that, you're at home with the Democrats.

the people folding on trans rights WILL fold on all that stuff too!

If you think Dems turning on trans children are going to be effective allies in those other fights, I've got a batch of fucking bridges to sell you

why are you so sure that the people who are so readily throwing trans people under the bus won't throw disabled people, immigrants, or you under the bus next?

Sounds like Democrats should stop running on fascist platforms. Go yell at them.

nailed ‘em

If people like you would fight for an alternative that didn't involve genociding us - US not you, I note - then Trump wouldn't even be president. I'm blaming you for it, not personally but collectively, because you were happy to have a dogshit candidate like Harris and you're gonna do it again

Seriously, does Putin use Zelle? Venmo? How much does it cost to pretend like 6 members of a party of many hundreds = the party? I hope it’s a lot.

100% this

the liberals get all defensive about this because democrats doing bad things doesn’t affect them personally whereas republicans doing bad things affects everyone, including them. they’re desperate to preserve their own comfort.

Breaks my heart to see the Dems abandon majority causes and flee from advocating civil liberties for all. We are coming to an inflection point…more chaos and battle lines being drawn.

The democrats are just capitalists in blue suits that pretend to care about working class people and queer people having human rights. They don’t give a shit.

Liberals only read things that confirm their biases, they are very much like MAGA in that way.

You've been heard.

okay this post keeps getting more traction for shitting on Dems and saying why they are pointless to vote for. with that said, can we show how direct action helps marginalized populations way more than checking a box to vote for a shithead that gets ignored anyway? bsky.app/profile/anni...

So many good points! Trump is the boil of a much sicker system, and Democrats have some serious self-reflecting to do about their own contributions to such violence (The racist exploitative Trump moved back and forth between the parties with ease over the decades)

McBride of DE… my rep. She also is a Zio, she took their money and supported arms to a genocide

Well the fascists do.

Till then, entryism is the only gamble we have. It's entryism or it's sitting here and waiting for the trains to come. Take your pick.

One of the scariest consequences of Trump is that he sets such a low bar that the opposition doesn’t need to do much to offer itself as a “better” alternative It is indeed grim, for trans, for nonhuman animals, for many others…

🎯🎯🎯no backbone has never historically worked out well

It’s infuriating to see their pivot on this.

We are already suffering the consequences. From the very beginning, they allowed our minorities to be sold. Any politician, democrats too, that are willing to ignore or trade the rights and needs of just 1 person..... means they are not political office material. Their vanity and greed is killing

The Dems got checked on their support for human rights and they folded. The republicans called their bluff. They never cared. The republicans proved they don’t care about freedom. One is a coward, and the other a tyrant. While we sit back and watch them exterminate us. In a war both sides fight back

All is truly lost. The Democrats are never going to change and actually defend and protect the trans community. You know you're fucked when banning athletes has now become a bipartisan issue. Social Death is all but guarantee at this point, and over stupid nonexistent issues to boot.

revolution is self defense especially in the face of genocide

We have a modern and current example of what liberal fascism looks like -points to UK Labour party-

We need to hold their f'ing feet to the fire...stop with sports and spaces. Let's get them on record for things that are happening to trans adults now!

Then we need to put them on notice NOW! Every Dem Gov Candidate in a Red State: Will you allow trans people to change their gender markers on their IDs? Will you allow transgender people to access government insurance for GAC? Will you put in civil rights protections for trans people?

Then we need to put them on notice NOW! Every Democratic Senator running in 2026: Will you co-sponsor or support Senator Markey's Transgender Bill of Rights? Should transgender people be able to openly serve in the military? Should transgender people be allowed to change the gender markers?

The agonizing fury I feel watching the dems being so consumed with envy that having a loyal voter base who would gladly support them no questions asked isn't good enough, they explicitly need TRUMP'S voter base and will just casually put human rights in the trash just to FAIL to get those voters.

Right on!

So they should sacrifice themselves for the greater good?

There were TWO types of Democrats on whom the ‘24 argument of “Vote for Not-Trump, to survive the next four years!” argument fell on militantly deaf ears. Answer: Yes. 😡

🤨

How did moving right go for the Harris campaign, dipshit?

did moving to the right and running a right-wing chud advocating for more militarism and imperialism, while repeating transphobic rhetoric about trans people, being involved in a genocide against palestinians, and having border policies to the right of trump's, work?

Looking at all the countries out there with parliamentary systems where, oh hey, the Center/Moderate parties govern with the far right. Yeah I’m not surprised that holds true in America too.

What would be the thing that would make you think the glass has broken if you apparently don’t think it has already?

It's solidarity or spinelessness. Simple as.

What harms transgender people harms all in some way or another. How it manifests depends on the rhetoric. It harms all women, transwomen include in all women. It won't end there. Any party that thinks it'll end there forgets their history.

We’ve already been loudly demanding to be heard tho. What more can we do?

IKR 💯 we need more allies to step up your social media game. Start posting stuff and tagging candidates directly, and consistently. Stop donating to these turncoats and give to staunch allies 🤔🤷‍♂️

☝🏻🎯

They're called donors

Nobody. There is no coordinated plan here. Not donors or faceless leadership. There's a relatively small handful of candidates, often facing relentless attacks for supporting trans people, who are compromising too much. Most of this is the venerable "shift to the center" for the general strategy.

These equality caucus & pacs have always been a lie, they do it for votes. D party is supporting genocide, they know it, their base know it. During the cold war with Russia I always said the hate between the US and Russia is because they're so much alike, they're both chasing after the same things.

I’m old enough to remember when “centrist” democrats blamed the queer community for Bush wins in 2000 and 2004. You are absolutely correct.

❤️ My whole life, it's been political triangulation. Now that's losing elections, and they still double down: "Oh, we just weren't hard ENOUGH on marginalized members of our community." Solidarity with trans (and other LGBTQ+) folks.

I will actually fist fight anyone in my presence for not defending trans rights at this point

Lesser evilism throws accountability out the window.

And this is the thing with fascism. There are never enough out groups to create their perfect society. It's a death cult. You can't let them sacrifice one group to prevent them from going after the next. They always need more victims to blame the failings of their vile governance on

🫂 love yer pfp

That’s the fucking problem. Picking secondary targets over primary targets.

No one who writes like you is ever correct or victorious though, so

Translation: "enjoy the camps!"

"Let us exclude you from public life or theyll exclude you from public life also well help them kill you" isnt exactly a winning vote getter,but you do you, you nazi fuck.

The democratic party has spent my entire lifetime telling people yelling for lgbtqia rights to shut the hell up and we have not been quiet. Why should we expect us being loud about it NOW to matter when it hasn't for the last forty years?
