Looks more like Type K. That’s a really interesting chart

Yea man. You got me. Hoooollyyyy shiiiiiitttt.

It’s the only options we got in a FPTP. If you think not participating absolves you of any moral agency then you are just naive. I never said the democrats were champions of trans issues. I said steps were being taken in the right direction. They were very small steps, but it was something. Democracy demands vigilance and active participation. Its only as strong as it’s participating individuals. The same goes for any other polity, so don’t delude yourself in thinking that we are immune to corruption in any alternate system either.

You seem to be under the false impression that I am here to defend the Democratic party. Let me dispel any notion of that: I am not. Two things can be true at the same time: the democrats can suck and the Republicans want to drag us to hell. I dont know what the answer is tbh. My goal is to minimize harm in a FPTP system. I only have so many options in front of me. Not participating is also a moral choice, but a moral choice that carries serious consequences. It doesn’t matter anyway. Democracy is way past us at this point if the next four years are what I expect.

So what

I already called them despicable. Do you want me to suck your dick too? I’m pretty done with the Dems too. I dgaf any more

I personally didn’t shut down progressives. When I say ideal world I’m just stating my preference. As in I’d really like to see a progressive party. Non the other way around.

I’m not gloating. I’ve stated as much numerous times. I’m pretty glum about it. I’m disappointed in the DNC overall.

Try to have a convo without getting so bitter all the time. I’m not your enemy.

I remember these now. I find those two candidates and their messaging despicable. However I should caveat: these are two small town local races. They run in stark contrast to the messaging from the President.

I understand the Dnc is a big party tent. In an ideal world I’d love to see a true progressive party take hold in America. The DNC needs a thorough shake up. Im feeling pretty glum about it atm tbh

There is no glee. I’m sorry it seems that way to you. There is a lot of frustration going around. Playing the blame game gets us nowhere. I was part of the problem too blaming non committal lefties. I’m sorry for my past attitude. I’m just not convinced that block has any interest in making change anymore. I think we’re all miserable at the moment. We all have friends or know people that will be personally affected in the next four years so there is absolutely no glee here (at least for me)

Like what? Got any examples?

Edit: I see just down votes. Anyone got examples??

For the first time in history we had a president address trans issues in a state of the union. No democratic politicians have enacted legislation against Trans - in fact quite the opposite. But here you stand grandstanding again.

Get over blaming centrists for all your problems and enjoy the next four years

This is really fascinating. I had to idea. Would love to read more on this if you have any recommendations
