This is a dumb narrative that leads to petty bickering while we are currently living under literal fascism. The reason they elected a fascist is because they desire change from the status quo. Pronouns are not a positive change for most people. So of course they will pick a fascist over that platform, if that's all it has to offer. The left has to get real, and I mean realpolitik. We have real solutions to offer these people. That's what the message should focus on. Inclusion is a given with leftism. DEI is corporate virtue signaling.

there was plenty of things besides pronouns that dems had to offer. like boosting new homeowners and offering incentives to new families having babies. racism and misogyny overruled it though. "i'm gonna ban all muslims and mexican are rapists!" won out.

America is looking at the proverbial mirror and realizing its full of racist, morons and people who think women can't lead; and no amount of 'well Kamala and Clinton didn't get me excited and offer me anything' will excuse that.

I have no idea what policies you're talking about in regards to homeownership and child incentives, and I'm extremely well read on politics. So yeah, 100% that the average American doesn't either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Kamala literally said this in her speeches. Maybe the average american is a dumb fuck I guess?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably not. She didn't highlight it. Her main issue was abortion, which is divisive and/or indifferent to a lot of people. It's not something that should ever be the centerpiece of a campaign.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably not. She didn’t highlight it.

she did, maybe the media didn't though. Her main issue was that she was female and had a darker complexion. Otherwise she was a clone of Biden.

The highlight of republicans seems to be trans people. a trivial and totally made up problem and yet, here we are. Gee I wonder why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, she didn't. You're delusional. Dems will continue to lose until they wake up.

dems will continue to lose until the US stops becoming transphobic, racist mysoginists shithole. Wake up

How's that deficit going? How's environmental protections going? Hows citizen birthrights going? It all goes back to greed and hate. Its not the candidates problem, its the citizens. "FUck you I gOt MiNeS!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No it's a candidate problem. Blaming citizens is the same as Republicans blaming people for being poor. They are ignorant because there are no good leaders inspiring people to be better. And it's of course because of money in politics. Decent people simply aren't put up to run. Only the most bootlicking frauds are allowed to run. Dems are owned by corporate donors just as much as the Republicans.

i don't recall democrats ever making campaign promises to ban an entire religion, and build a wall around mexico because its full of rapists. Any comparison there?

Sure they are both backed by money, but only one is backed by hatred and malice--thus the mass shootings and prejudice. This isn't new information MLK was shot for working against this...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Me neither, but I do recall them going after people of a certain religion, and sending them to torture prisons. I remember them fast-tracking a bunch of funding for the wall, and deporting more people than first-term Trump.

So sure, maybe they didn't campaign on being evil, but once they had the power, they sure acted evil.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

yeah after 9/11 you mean when we invaded iraq for lies and started torturing muslims in black-sites? Oh wait that was Bush.

Oh I know what you mean when that one democrat took out that ad about the central park 5 calling for their execution and doubled down after they were exonerated? oh wait that was trump. Wait wait do you mean how Democrats took the 'great replacement theory' and made it mainstream? Oh wait that was also republicans... Or how about the DOGE guy doing the nazi salute live on television? wait, he's also aligned with trump. Gee coming up with a hard time coming up with examples here. Help me out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No, I mean after 9/11 when Obama continued Bush's policies, including torturing muslims at black-sites, and bombing children overseas. I also mean when Biden sent Haitians off to torture camps in Guantanimo. I also mean when Biden spent a bunch of money expanding ICE, the border wall and our military.

So yeah, if you keep ignoring when Democrats act evil, you won't have any memory of them acting eveil. I suggest next time you look for data, before saying that you don't remember any data.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

If obama had stopped what bush had started he would have been obstructed, like he was with everything else. By the way, who killed Bin-Laden? Who actually got stuff done? Who expanded drilling for oil and nixing environmental protections? They are leagues apart and the only thing shouting "both shides are the shame" is doing is harming the country and turning us against each other. They aren't the same.

This is akin to civil war apologists saying it was about state rights and not human rights. Republicans would have smoked smokey the bear with a 12 gauge and then posed with his corpse; conservatives literally had their soldiers stacking iraqi's like pyramids and electrocuting their genitals but no! "both sides are the same"

im tired of it. Its not the same, no matter how much you white wash it.
