Instead of Ignoring Trans Rights at DNC, Dems Should’ve Vowed to Protect Them
Instead of Ignoring Trans Rights at DNC, Dems Should’ve Vowed to Protect Them
Democrats seem to think that the issue — which carries life-or-death stakes — is too divisive to address.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Any defense of human rights is a defense of trans rights.
Hogwash. It's completely possible to defend human rights for some and not for others. Which is why you keep ignoring what I keep saying about Palestinians. How are their human rights holdin' up? How are Democrats' defense of human rights a defense for Palestinians' rights?
Oh yeah, they're selling weapons for the genocide of Palestinians. Turns out, "any defense of human rights" is not the same thing as "defending all humans' rights."
I didn’t ignore what you said about the genocide in Gaza, although it’s a red herring. Scroll up, use your eyeballs to read.
Unlike you, I’d rather win the election because my concern for human rights, including trans rights, isn’t performative.
This is the last time I’m replying to your comments since I can’t tell if you’re a Russian bot or something. Sorry.
Ok, so you want me to be happy with a party that is concerned with human rights for only some people.
If your support for human rights does not include Palestinians, how can anyone trust that it includes trans people without some indicator?
Do they need to mention every single group whose rights they want to protect or are you able to read between the lines and look at the policies Democrat States have adopted these past 4 years vs Republican States?
I do not trust Democrats not to move to the right, as they do so every chance they have. Failure to address things like trans rights specifically means they're the next group under the bus.
No, it doesn't. Trans aren't the only group being oppressed by Republicans and they're not the biggest group either, women and ethnic minorities represent a much bigger part of the population and supporting them doesn't alienate some electors because it's not considered woke (or not as much) to do so, which openly supporting trans rights is.
People on the left will always find excuses to open the door to the right wing party because they're looking for moral purity... The problem is that your definition of that purity would mean a party unable to get elected, so you're better off accepting that some issues you care about won't be front and center during the campaign even though the party still agrees with you.

Yes, and they get mentioned because it's not their turn under the bus yet.

Centrists will always capitulate to the right and dismiss anyone who is upset about it with this "purity" bullshit.
Oh so in your mind the Democrats will stop abortions and stop fighting inequality based on ethnic background?
It's funny how in your mind "they want our vote just to throw us under the bus" works on one side but you can't imagine they would do the same with people coming from the other side yet, when elected, people on the other side feel like they're the ones who got thrown under the bus because Democrats start adopting more progressive measures than what they had talked about while campaigning.
Honestly at this point I'm pretty sure you're just another Russian troll.

Given enough time and enough apologists like you, absolutely. We've already adopted Republican policy on immigration, and you're spewing their talking points.
