Trans girl with anxiety, rejection, and guilt issues.
The whole "No true Scotsman..." thing.
I really have, like, the thinnest skin.
But, honestly, I hate intra community discourse because it always just ends up with "you don't have the same meaning of a community specific concept that I have, therefore you are less than"

Like, fr, There was impeachment 1 that had 0 Republicans vote to convict.
Impeachment 2 had actual cross party votes to convict and it was AFTER SCOTUS refused to send the chief justice to preside, trying to delegitimize it.
More impeachments got more consensus to convict!

Democratic Leaders: "It's hard fighting against the right wing echo chamber!"
Democratic leadership when they can have access to a news making process that has justifiable use for bringing a powerful pedophile to account for crimes: "It's too much work to impeach Trump!"

This is the vice chair of the Democrat caucus straight up saying that even if Dems win the midterms, they might not impeach Trump.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Dems vs Republicans:
Biden does student loan forgiveness, then SCOTUS says no, then Biden gives up loan forgiveness
Trump does ICE kidnapping; Courts say respect habeus corpus, Trump then sends people to random countries in defiance.

I’ve heard many posts like this before. They all seem to say that democrats are failing, losing the long fight, being weak etc
What do you want them to do? Without the numbers they are nearly as powerless as any other bystander.
Being patient &Voting in democratic candidates is the only solution.

Look, I get she's trying to sort of suggest that culture war drivel is nonstarter like it could be in, like, the 90s and 00s, but it's as serious as Dems treat it seriously to vote on.
