Just to build on this, a lot of solidarity has been completely performative from a huge swath of the left, or alternatively just bluntly transactional, instead of actually, you know, trying to advance the lives of others
the thing about trans ppl that explains a lot about why we’re such a flashpoint for the worst kind of leftist is that last decade we were many people’s omnicause,the excuse for antisocial behavior that made them feel righteous, and thus many of us feel obliged to pay it forward to the next omnicause

people need to get used to the idea that a lot of transactional and short term cooperation can happen with people you don’t have long term trust obligations to. that is how the economy works

And Chi would be almost completely the opposite even putting aside all the considerations about the race in the narrow sense, he wants a totally transactional relationship and is coming to us out of expediency

Much like Trump's people, these folks don't understand anything that does not provide immediate transactional benefit
If you’re not making any money off this then it’s even more mystifying

I don’t think he understands that most truly democratic voters want to see justice regardless of political affiliation. This lack of morality and voting party over integrity underpins the ugly mess of America (along with stupid money in politics, Fox, transactional president, his brown nosers etc.)

The difference? Kissing up to Prince Bone Saw has already been very profitable for 47 personally, and looks to become more so.
Zelenskyy and Ukraine offer no personal advantage to 47, so he was treated callously.
Never forget - EVERYTHING 47 does is transactional. NO EXCEPTIONS.

At a certain point a wider use of the term “fossil fuel bribery agents” should replace “fossil fuel lobbyists” to more accurately reflect the transactional content of what “lobbying” means.
Lobbying is the act of meeting a politician in a lobby and bribing them to do something against their voters.

@cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social calls this "transactional bundling" and its a hallmark of Trump's international "deals."
This comes hours, weeks and months after multiple business deals were announced between the Saudi global wealth fund and Trump Org worth several billion dollars. The Saudis are one of the Trump family’s biggest business partners.

Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

When is peace not peace? The only new part of the surrender plan, stitched together in secret, without Ukraine’s involvement by witless Witkoff and Kiril Dmitriev is that the language and framing are even grosser than before – even more transactional. youtu.be/8tzqhmE9WLA

Maybe that was why she’d let her guard down. Maybe she’d mistaken the feeling of sharing a vast, tangled secret with real trust and security. Maybe the complexity of their feelings toward each other had led her to erroneously believe their relationship was not fundamentally transactional.

Got asked why I pulled back on collabs and shifted to leaning to friends/moots and honestly? It just got weird lol.
Things started feeling transactional — more like clout chasing than anything of substance — and putting that kind of investment into someone just for it to feel hollow was… cringe tbh.

Everything Trump does is transactional
It has only 1 function:
It must personally enrich him & the #TrumpCrimeFamily
He does not give a damn about you, your family, your community or America
A new low this week with Saudi Arabia's MBS & blamed Jamal Khashoggi for his own murder
Just disgusting

And this makes them very bad at defending it and at understanding why anyone is opposed. They translate principled opposition into electoral strategy and oppose it on those grounds. And so their politics becomes the empty and transactional just as the theologians charge (6/?)
