Now actually feels like an appropriate time to demand better representation. They have to meet our standards not corporate

TRANS RIGHTS OR FUCKING ELSE! You’re failing that by calling our simple demand to be treated as people as “purity politics”

💯%

As a Canadian I am rooting for you guys to take your country back, As someone who has no faith in humanity however I'm still rooting for you but I would love to be surprised.

I won’t die to secure you your privileges for a second longer in a dying world. Eat shit and die etc etc,,,

Alt text?

how long will you close your ears to the cry of the needy? if you want us to sacrifice our lives so you can keep a shred of whatever kind of life you’ve made, then maybe you can suffer two more years until you get your ass in gear and listen to us. get your candidates together

Maybe stick to watching TV and posting clips, clippy.

I wont vote for anyone who is pro israel No sacrificing principles any longer. This country deserves to burn to the fucking ground if it doesn't reckon with its evil

takes like the one you're replying to actually lead to people like my trans friends in the guillotine

There are multiple different constituencies that have admitted that switching to antitrans politics did not earn them jack, fucking, shit, So tell us again how we need to avoid "purity tests"

Say with your full chest how trans people should vote for canidates who are actively advertising removing our rights. Dont pussyfoot around. Say wr should votr for our own genocide instead of actually fighting our local canidates until they change their positions.

I am curious when the US press will write about how US cut intelligence for Ukraine's DEFENSE. They cut for two days in a row the early warning on incoming missiles and last night Starlink for drone interceptors shooting down incoming Russian drones targeted at civilian infrastructure.

After the elections are done and all the trans folk bit their lips and voted for candidates that threw them under the bus, what are you going to do? Are you going to stand for trans people *between* the elections? Or do they only exist to you when there's ballots or a tabloid insult to share?

Swing and a miss dipshit

damn better start catering to these issues then if they're such a big problem

Which of your rights are you willing to sacrifice to win more votes for the Democrats by appealing to Republican voters? Abortion access? Contraception? Voting?

Your right its not so you nazi fucks should probably stop trying to shove biggoted nazis onto us that deserve a bullet to their fucking head rather than a vote.

or it's part of the fascistic "my enemy is both weak and strong": we can throw trans ppl under the bus bc they don't matter, but also if they criticize us then it's their fault when we lose (which we will, bc Dems who moderate to the "center" consistently eat shit) idk, it's just scapegoating

Exactly. If they dont need our vote then why do they care how we vote?

consulting gigs have to earn their keep.

Here's my angry thread in which I answer that question. bsky.app/profile/lesb...

If people want to know a HARD if not impossible vote. Look no further than the Philippines. It was either ONE dictator (Dutuerte) or the other (a freaking Marcos). The United States had nothing like that in 2016. Nothing like that in 2024. Not even during these current midterms.

Hi, which of your rights are you giving up with your vote? You’re talking big game about “compromise” but I’m gonna guess you aren’t really giving up all that much, huh.

So the dems should start fighting back if they want votes, yeah?

That's going to keep happening because voting in some Dems for a few years does absolutely nothing to change the overall landscape of US politics. The GOP will still be there, and the Dems will still be funding all the shit you just listed

Shame is not an effective method of harvesting votes. I don't really know how to make it any clearer than that. Bark at the Democratic leadership and start shaming them. Stop talking down to people whose only power *is* their vote.

It’s time for the center to go left, yes.

And what rights are you willing to give up to secure everyone else's safety? Healthcare? Housing? Voting?

It's not even that they want us to sacrifice for "the greater good"; they want us to sacrifice ourselves for THEIR good, and how dare we threaten THEIR comfort and safety?

And after the vote, don't wait for two years if you can see that things still aren't working. There's no more time left to be waiting.

But it's true. They need power. They need to retain power to make this work. If you don't want to help make this country better, just say it.

But it clearly doesn't have to be- look how rapidly Trump has taken a wrecking ball to US institutions and the country itself. They may have stewed over these things for years, but Republicans pulled the trigger as soon as they got the chance.

also its not "authoriarian trajectory" its authoritarian nature. This country's authoritarian nature creared trump, not the other way around. Voting him out will not undo any of what he's done, nor will it change the things that created and enabled him in the first place.

you are not going to browbeat people into voting for your shitty 99% hitler candidate no matter how much worse the other option is, you need to give voters something tangible and permanant to vote for, not just something to vote against.

living through decades of this made me a communist

this arrogant braindead thinking is why everything is going to shit you absolute mouthbreather

💯🎯

Oh, but they are going to cancel brunch to protest this Saturday, after months of doing nothing. Meanwhile, French students have been in the streets for days to protest the government cuts to education there. We congratulate ourselves for one protest every five months. It's pathetic.

What is your point? The posts I’m replying clearly show a lack of knowledge about how the legislative branch works and I’m letting them know the truth about why holding the majority is so important to legislation.

Thanks! Blocking that Brita filter now!

Telling how it’s always this line and never ‘dear candidate stop being fucking stupid and dividing your own coalition for no benefit’

​We should support candidates who prioritize moral and ethical values over party loyalty. No Republicans or Democrats. Trump's disgracefully focusing on party interests over national strategic needs, all for electoral gains that will not happened; exploits voter ignorance.

I did this same meme years ago but used a different image

Oooooo… that is an excellent meme. 🖤🐉🖤

Murc’s Law in one image

They're literally using good cop bad cop extortion. 'Look we're the good guys, we swear. You don't want the other guy, so give me what we want or I'll let him go to town on you'. Politicians need to feel fear again. They need consequences

"Lisa" is a bot who is just posting the exact same reply over and over again in this thread, block it and move on

I hope you live a long sad life

Hey so what happens when Dems still vote for their shit even when they’re in power and refuse to actually take action to stop republicans from coming back? We just have to do this again?

shut up Lisa

Got his ass

"I will not vote to increase the fascism that falls on me just to lessen the fascism that falls on you." @mekka.mekka-tech.com If they need our votes to win, they have to offer us policy concessions. If they won't offer us policy concessions, they can't blame us when they lose.

To all the GOP candidates, especially those already in Congress, who are now claiming they oppose tRump's war in Iran, tariffs, widespread immigration crackdown & misuse of DoJ, the big questions are: where have you been these past 2 years & why would anyone expect you to change post-election?

Not just Newsom, he still thinks we should back Platner or else Collins will win.

Shut the fuck up loser

I'm concerned about those that are happy to compromise on those very simple human rights issues tbh

Let's hope the Dems get tough. It should've happened long before now!

Lol. They're literally stooping before your eyes, have been the whole time. You have a bunch of candidates running on transphobia and islamophobia now. They've compromised their way into being Republicans in all but name.

There is literally n o r e a s o n to think this, though. They NEVER have before.

💙🌊💙

Ballots have already been sent.

"The fascists will be defeated but police will still be killing people, discrimination will still persist, people will still be in the camps and genocides still supported, you just need to Trust The Party" is the Stalin Deal©

i hate these attention seekers & block them all - they desp want engagement no different than a troll. Someone described voting as we’re all on a bus - which one is heading in the same direction- vote for that one. He may smell, but you can yell at him after he’s onboard.

Magats will happily vote for Trump even after he blasphemed by AI generating himself as Jesus Christ, and crashed the global economy with his stupid wars. If you do not vote for the opposition (and probably lesser evil) I'm sorry but you are part of the problem.

This isn't a rule in any way, just look at Brasil and Argentina

I would actually support a mandatory election participation law punishable by small fine ($25-50), similar to Australia.

And making it mandatory would be a bad idea because sometimes there genuinely isn’t a good candidate, or due to factors outside of your control you are unable to vote and thus would be punished

You seem to under the delusion that a democrat controlled congress would do anything at all

a lot of those mf "centrists" will be going to jail too, if justice is ever actually served

"Purity politics" is a code democrats use to mean "caring about minorities we've decided don't matter."

its not purity politics its my equal rights being stripped because bigot shits like you can never leave well enough alone & can never ever stop apologizing for power. go post some slurs about it or whatever it is that you do besides be a repost bot

Candidates are supposed to offer much more than they will deliver, and the voters are supposed use our voices to hold them to those promises after the vote. If the candidate starts out lower than your standards and your strategy is to push them after the vote, youve already lost your bargaining chip

And yesterday - as if to demonstrate his vileness and cruelty - Trump shared a video of a mentally ill man being mauled to death by a tiger the day before: probably because the UK police had specifically asked all the sick cvnts like Trump not to share it, so of course he fucking did.

truly disgusting words, i thought you were better than this

Funny 😃

Why does everything go back to Israel? We need to save this fing country so vote blue for fauxking sake people.

What if it’s MTG after she switches parties?

Compromise is how we got here!

Amen, brother!

With two of the three arms of government working to alleviate the effects of Trump’s agenda, we can begin to right the ship of state. Or at least that is the hope.

Most Americans are both selfish and uninformed. Intellectually lazy. Mostly due to years of Republican meddling in K-12 education.

Going in for early voting this week. Had the candidate and issues discussion with my voting child last night. Good debate that led to more research for both of us. Coming out of it, we won’t cancel out each other at the booth 💪🏼
