Yeah and you say that and people are like OH SO YOU'RE FINE WITH REPUBLICANS and, no, categorically not. As a transwoman the Republicans have made it pretty clear my existence and rights are up for debate, so you know, not ever gonna vote for one. That said, the Democrats are not saints by a long, long way and their mealy-mouthed resistance can most often be summarized as twitter posts and flashy statements, and then they go fuck us over in the congressional chamber anyway.
My argument isn't pro-Republican, I just want Democrats to follow through with the shit they talk, and actually live up to the progressive label they try to retain with actual progressive policies, not just more female oppressors of color. That's nice but it's not a solution to the problems we're having.
Thats the problem. Even the democrats have sold transfolk off as well. Many of them have backed anti-trans bills across the country.
For them it was sniffing like a hound for easy votes. And when it didn't pan out, you all get sold down the river.
Even the "Progressives" like Sanders and AOC dont shake certain trees. Like when's the last time Sanders or AOC denounced Israel's genocide.
Even Mamdani basically did a 180 on rent control.
Republicans would heartily see you shoved in a chipper shredder. Democrats would shove you in a chipper shredder owned by a BIPOC woman owned company.
