The Democratic Party could take a stand and denounce and bar members that do this shit. But they don’t. They don’t take principled stands in order to be a Big Tent party. And because of this Third Way strategy, they lose by dilution. Over and over and over.
Do you want the Dem party to run more like the GOP where it’s very much the way you describe?
I don’t think the Dem party is as corrupt as the GOP, so they don’t tend to stick to hard line beliefs.
I disagree with the actions of the entire GOP and those 8 dems but just thought I’d add perspective.
Are we allowed to say both sides are bad and the entire system needs to be replaced yet?
Or you could say we’re not a cult blindly following an orange idol. We include a diversity of opinions
Plus congressmen should represent their constituents, no matter how spiteful and close-minded
You would have voted for slavery & segregation if it had been the will of your constituency.
I would campaigned on human rights and likely lost badly
Then why are you doing the opposite of that now?
Only if you’re going to do something about it.
What are you gonna replace it with? Do you know what an absolute shitshow a constitutional congress would be in this day and age. It would actually be easier to dissolve the United States and run each state as in independent country like in the EU.

The curse of the big tent.
Trans people aren’t welcome in your tent. They upset the fascists you’re trying to impress.

Let’s just not bullshit each other about why the Democratic Party exists

Until we get a better democracy “don’t vote for a Democrat” only helps the fascists.
Until we get better democrats, they’ll keep losing and you’ll keep acting like every last criticism of even the vilest behavior is telling people not to vote.

those bad Democrats are why you have to support Trump, it’s not your fault
Criticism of the genocide wing isn’t trump support just because you can’t bear criticism of genocide.
We get it, you don’t care about trans people, or the complicit actions of the democratic party. That you have no problem with violence being carried out in your name to the point of mocking people who do care.
Everyday I have more and more trouble in telling the fundamental difference between MAGA and someone like you. Someone who ignores reality, and make bad faith arguments. Throwing tantrums when their emotionally loaded arguments don’t work. Disgusting behavior you have displayed here.
It certainly doesn’t make voting blue easier when it associates me with someone like yourself.
Democrats are controlled opposition that roll over for Republicans. Been that way my entire life. Democrats support the Republican party and their concentration camps and have no problem othering trans people so they can join the brown people and dissidents already captured by their masters.
How long until they throw you under the bus as well?
So let’s start a progressive party!
Oh, you’re not going to? Then stop generalizing the dems and start primarying the fascists.
It’s easier to get progressives into the current party structure than to start a new party.
I’m really glad you can put words into my mouth so you had something to argue against lol. Loser behavior, but I expect nothing less from those that choose to be livestock.
What words did I put into your mouth? You’re complaining on a forum and generalizing a group. Now I’m complaining about your complaint.
Then you called me a loser because you’d rather do that than admit you’re doing nothing to help the situation.
8 out of the 215 voted for it and to you that means the entire 215 is “controlled opposition”?
Amazing how theres always just enough democrats to pass this shit.
and its never the same democrats that voted to pass the last shit.
You didn’t read the article. They didn’t need any Democrats to pass this.
Which is why it is so unbelievably grievous that these assholes decided to cast votes in favor anyway. They are simply declaring their transphobia in order to attract the worst kinds if voters in their districts while the centrists shrug and say “oh well”. Meanwhile anyone with a heart is just seething with impotence at the injustice.
Fuck these useless democrats.
