   Brey, I was here the whole time; the GOP has been manufacturing consent for an anti-trans pogrom for literally three and a half years now and the Democratic Party responded by literally not pushing back and not talking about trans people at all. Believe me, it's a big part of why I've been telling you libs to fuck off when you say these ppl fight for me in my replies. So blaming this on trans issues is literally saying "if trans ppl didn't EXIST we've have won" - *as* Trump prepares to end us.

     Don't reply. I'm not here for it; you can argue with John Oliver instead.

     "If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost."

     Like, I literally predicted this, in writing, multiple times and years ago.

     Het people don't give a fuck about trans and queer people. I never EXPECTED these folks to fight for me, and they didn't. But to turn around and say it's my fault you lost for EXISTING after you ran a campaign to the right of George W. Bush and 10M people said "naw" is literally doing the nazis work FOR them.

     And you wonder why I keep saying "we are not fucking friends or on the same side" right?

     Every single one of these articles spread across multiple years notes that the mainstream liberal establishment was doing (and saying) absolutely nothing to prevent an ongoing trans pogrom.

     I'll post some quotes below.

     "While the Party platform offered some assurances on protecting the rights of trans people, if anyone pushed back on or mentioned at all the fascist right’s ongoing pogrom and eliminationist policies targeting trans folks, I certainly missed it."

     "Don’t worry though, I’m sure working to support trans rights behind the scenes and refusing to publicly stand up for a vulnerable minority group being demonized as pedophiles and targeted for extermination by fascists will win Democrats as many as a half-dozen cracker suburban voters who want to pogrom trans people out of existence, so clearly doing nothing to push back on that dangerous rhetoric and these monstrous policies has no downside and was the smart play here."

     "Unfortunately, even sympathetic media outlets chose to report this phenomenon almost exclusively as it pertained to the (then) upcoming American election. When firing up the trans pogrom failed to produce a Republican “red wave” victory, an already transphobic American establishment quickly lost interest in defending, or even discussing trans rights."

     "As I and many others warned however, an election in which the fascist party seized control of Congress, and numerous transphobes with real political power won re-election, was no sign whatsoever that this latest era of pogrom as politics was now over. Today, just as in Nazi Germany, persecuting trans people, particularly under the guise of protecting children, remains an important skeleton key in the fascist strategy to unlock political power."

     "Although both public polling, and ballot results demonstrate that labor class liberals broadly oppose de-personing trans Americans, the ruling class presumption of a return to normalcy represents a very grave danger to a minority group firmly in the sights of a fascist movement that still has very real power to prosecute its eliminationist agenda."

     "What really makes this article stand out for me however, is the author’s willingness to challenge liberal, and even left wing complacency in the face of this ongoing anti-trans pogrom. Speaking directly to the sense of alienation that I myself have acknowledged often prevents me from writing about attacks on the very existence of trans identities, Strangio bluntly asks where is the anti-fascist solidarity for trans people in the broader American “left” coalition?"

     And this is gonna shock you to hear, but I have MANY trans friends, and a whole bunch of them, even perhaps a majority of them, didn't vote for your candidate precisely BECAUSE you didn't fight for them in the face of again, an ongoing anti-trans pogrom that has been mainstream right wing policy for three and a half years.

     You're just lucky trans people are a miniscule voting demo but I bet that was repeated across multiple OTHER demos you didn't fight the nazis to protect either.

     When I tell you that you lost because you chased cracker surbubanite voters running a platform built around fascist appeasement, I speak from experience. The Dem Party really REALLY wants to win over white people terrified of anyone different than them but those people already vote fascist. Your base is comprised of the people being TARGTED by these policies. You bled Black voters b/c hug violent cops, Muslim voters b/c "love Israel's genocide," brown voters cause "hunt down migrants," etc

     It is VERY telling to me that all the folks out here still defending these assclowns who lead them to ruin, and insisting that the "left wing policies" I'm saying they could have adopted in (and did adopt in 2020, which you WON BTW) didn't have that much of an effect on the result are almost INVARIABLY bougie white liberals.

     Brey, you turned on your own coalition to chase fucking nazis, and people noticed.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Absolutely that. The demos ran on an anti-demicratic platform based on blackmail so they didn't have to actually represent any base whatsoever. They did this because they could get away with it in their minds and now it's proven that didn't fly, they are acting up like toddlers deprived of yet another bar of chocolate. And they would, without blinking, do it all over again because they will never be the ones to suffer the consequences of their actions.

     @n_dimension What the fuck are you talking about? I never said anything about how I voted. And "very close" is a real weird way to describe getting your ass kicked the way the Dems did.

     Get the fuck out of my mentions.

     Hello Angry person.

     I find myself in agreement with you on many issues.

     But just to clarify, you knew it was very close, and you and your friends voted for a spoiler candidate knowing full well Trump may be elected if it's close?
     I'm reading rationale being bourgeoise were being bourgeoise?
     And that would punish fascists by putting them into power?

     Do you feel your dislike for the liberals is stronger than fascists because they betrayed you (in your eyes)?

     @craignicol Labour won because the Tories had five cracks at Number 10 and became an increasingly more embarrassing travshammockery every single time.

     They TELL themselves it was because they went right, because that justifies doing what they always wanted to do. But literally they got less votes than Corbin; the Tories just collapse because "travshammockery."

     Starmer will not win a 2nd term, and the OVERT fascists will be in charge again after the next election.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites here in the UK "the left wing" won, and we're still talking about deporting immigrants, supporting Israel, blocking transgender healthcare, but we've got a slightly higher minimum wage.

     I'm glad the incompetent fascists are out, but whatever happened to the left's big visions to make life better?
