In an incredible display of just kind of saying stuff, 52-year-old liberal Isaac Shawn has announced that focusing on “trans issues” alienates the working class from the Democratic party, though he does not personally know a trans person, a working-class person, or anyone at the intersection of thes
I suspect the American left focused on LGBTQ+ issues because it was a "safe" mission.
Increasing official tolerance there was no threat to their donors or the wealthy in general. Nobody had to pay more in taxes or submit to meaningful government regulstion to enforce "don't explicitly fire/assault/refuse to marry someone for being gay/trans". Arguably those policies could have ecen come out of broader expectations for "stay out of people's personal lives" rather than making special cutouts and declaring a marginal group.
Looks impressive, accomplishes very little. Pretty much sums up the Democratic party for the last 50 years.
I don't know what "very little" means to you, but I have friends that are married with children, unlikely to face violence motivated by bigotry (location dependant, YMMV), and have legal protections from discrimination in housing and employment.
When I was a kid they could get fired or evicted with no recource, and if they had the temerity to poke their head out of the closet someone could kick their ass with impunity unless they were seriously injured or killed, and sometimes even then.
I guess the real satire is in the comments. Do we blame the dems for having actual plans to help more than the ruling class, or do we blame the gopniks for locking down house and/or senate to block anything positive for us poors for 49.7 of the last 50 years?
Two things can be true at once. BOTH the right slipping in to fascism, and "big tent" Democrats being ineffectual losers.
Remember: It was the Dems who shoehorned Hillary in and brought us Trump... You can laud them all you want for having A plan, but if that plan is a pathetic cry for attention that got us Donald Drumpf for president...
Maybe you should consider that many, many Democrars ACTUALLY ARE fucking losers with a pathetically inept plan in the face of rising fascism.
That doesn't magically make the faecists the right choice, it just means we are yet again stuck with an outright terrible burning pile of trash on one side, and a freshly shit bed on the other.
Nowhere at ALL did I say both sides are equally bad, yet you fucking morons continue to assume that point... LEARN TO FUCKING READ, you nuanceless retard.
Both sides can be bad, while one side is still significantly worse. Again, two things can be true at once, but you morons are literally too stupid to understand the entire point. Truly, pathetic.
rofl so offended by a word that you no longer even remember the topic, eh? What a pathetic loser you must be. Get back on point, or continue to prove that only the truly dull fail to understand how two things can be true at once.
Nice attempt to turn that around, but only one of us is failing to understand an extremely basic point, and only one of us is assuming the other is calling them equivalent.
Would you understand it better if I said one was an entire garbage dump on fire instead of "a pile"? You seem to want to press buttons more than you want to understand what point is being made, and that makes you rather stupid in any case.
only one of us is assuming the other is calling them equivalent.
Well hang on a second...

Why that doesn't say "equal" or "same" anywhere!
