    As a trans person, you can suck my girl dick. I am not a cudgel to be used by shitty libs to sheepdog votes for their nonexistent policy.

    Trans rights keep being eroded, regardless of who is in power, because the Democratic Party isn’t doing anything to preserve them.

    This is such a tired narrative. You guys really want to focus on the leftists when half the country voted for an authoritarian?

    Every movement has its radical fringe. Virtue signaling either your ideological purity or your solidarity with the only viable opposition are equally feeble attempts at clinging to a notion of victory in the face of total defeat.

    EDIT: I wasn’t expecting this comment to generate discussion but since it did, let me elaborate on what I meant by “total defeat.” The defeat is not an electoral loss, it’s the fact that we have relinquished so much political power that all we have left is voting for one of a set of compromised politicians every few years. It’s a tired argument because it assumes that it’s possible to vote our way out of the mess we’re in, and it simply isn’t. We need to attack the point of production because it’s where the ruling class derives its power. And arguing about our sham elections is getting us nowhere.

    Fascism is not a break from the previous administration, but a continuation.

    Libs are still crying about their loss of power, still doing nothing to resist.

    I hate that evil Emperor Palpatine. That’s why I support Dedra Meero for Emperor. She’s a real firecracker that believes in the righteousness of the Empire to maintain order.

    I feel like takes like this come from people with no long term memory. Do you remember the pro-palestinian crowd begging Kamala Harris to even pretend like she’d do something to help? And she basically told them to vote for Trump? Blame the Democratic party for choosing to be fascism-light instead of actual resistance.

    You know how before the elections we say that it’s not the time to nitpick the Democratic Party because it’s more important to have it win so that the fascist won’t win?

    Well, now we are not before elections, which means that now it is the time to nitpick the Democratic Party.

    When asked what Kamala’s opinion was about Trans people and protections, all she said is “they should follow the law”.

    The fuck is that non answer

    OP admits that they would cast a vote to put trans people in camps if the situation was right. This meme is ridiculous coming from a person like that.

    If the “online lefties” were so powerful a block perhaps Dem’s leadership should have courted their vote. If they were so minor a block that “online lefties” should be ignored then you’re targeting the wrong people.

    But you know this already, I told you before the election that way to win the “no genocide” vote isn’t to try convince them to vote “yes genocide”. It’s to try convince the leaders to stop supporting genocide.

    This post is the same punching down shit you were doing before the election.

    Folks, OP is a well known anti-socialist who routinely creates messy drama. Nothing to see here, move along.

    They do also post quite a lot of nice historical content, which I quite appreciate. Maybe go enjoy that.
