Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"
@AquamarineRose_@yu788523 the sarcasm comes from the fact that the majority of people who say we should pressure candidates / push them left don't actually do those things
i always assumed there was something fundamentally broken about me that prevented me from being happy as a kid. when i returned to my hometown after transitioning every adult who used to know me noted i looked much happier now than when i was young.
i remember when i was really young i would always tell my parents that i wanted to die and that i suspected i had depression. they always told me my life was too good to be depressed and that im just imagining things. male puberty is a death sentence
the "ideological purity" that's supposedly too much to ask of voters is to give trans women the same rights as anyone else. is this what not being hated is?
Many Trans leftists want to feel like hated when in reality a lot of people don’t hate you. They just believe biological sex matters.
If someone supports your right to medical transition, employment, housing but not sports they don’t hate you. They just don’t buy that you are exactly the same as a cis person.
You can’t demand ideological purity from voters.
The problem is people treating the wrong puberty as an inconvenience at worst and not the traumatic event that it is, just earlier this month this website was going down on trannies because they found out about rib shaving surgery.
Guess what causes that isnecurity? Male puberty
If you do not support over the counter hrt you are against us. If you do not support no out of pocket cost, informed consent reconstructive surgeries, for children as young as 16, you are against us. We will bury you.
name me ONE country whose laws don't equate children to property in both language and technicalities, even your definition of children as "people-in-training" is dehumanizing and objectifying cause guess what, they already are people
deep down i always knew since childhood but never had the words to say it. but every social marker around me had already conditioned me to accept this was a disgusting way of existence. their hate became my own. i really tried to fit w them. all i got was repression n this corpse
