She uh, takes money from AIPAC and her very first bill in Congress was a private equity law

Nah I criticize her because she's a centrist, a Zionist, and a supporter of private equity

Yes and they lost because they supported & enabled a genocide that a majority of Americans oppose. McBride is among those who supports it. So actually, she is part of why our healthcare is now being taken from us.

Not sure why you're mad at *me* for that.

It's not a stand! There's nothing a stake here! This will change nothing, it's focused purely on decorum. It's exactly what's *wrong* with the Democratic Party. We're still gonna lose our healthcare

early transition is absolutely a trial of the grasses

Sure, but it came from a certain place and it isn't the place this is coming from.

But that's uh fake, to be kind, it's not how any of this works, and if you look at history it was actually the anti-trans ppl who created "gender" as an outlet for trans ppl in the first place bc studies of trans bodies were revealing that "biological sex" wasn't scientifically tenable any longer.

The entire "sex-based rights" argument is of course meant to be nonsensical, but even if taken on its face it really only applies to an absurdly literal textual reading of the law, such that "sex" somehow loses its meaning and the laws that give rights have their wording acquire new meaning too.

Tbh even that doesn't quite make sense bc the point of political lesbianism was to choose not to give men sexual or romantic attention or to define any aspect of your identity in relation to a man, in order to escape the patriarchal pressures created by such a relationship. This is so much weirder.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm a lesbian and I fuck other girls because i think girls are hot, not to be "rebellious"? The transgressive nature of being a girl who fucks other girls in a patriarchal society doesn't change because you admit that trans people exist.

sorrows, sorrows, prayers

The thing is that Democrats or "liberals" aren't the opposite of white supremacists. I would hope their cheerleading for the genocide in Gaza, or rationalizing countless other wars on the Global South, would've dissuaded anybody of that notion.

The Jacobin piece is the logical outcome of investment in electoral politics as the only legitimate leftist strategy. When you look to elections to defeat "the far right" (ignoring the notion the Dems aren't right-wing), only then can you rationalize propping up this goon bc you need another D seat.

i'm gonna gripe about this graphic if you let me

wow a trans girl communist? never seen that before!
