@LonesomeWest That is such a sad way to live, I've made my own journey to achieve my understanding of the world and I will never give up hope that the average person can accomplish that too.
@max_slegaal@LonesomeWest RBG not retireing is an abortion issue because it is an immense failure of the party to let her die instead of getting her to step down.
@max_slegaal@LonesomeWest Failing to codify roe into law is a reason it was able to be overturned in the courts, and not doing it after is a failure to rectify the situation
@LonesomeWest Texans are still people, if you offer them real gains through healthcare, jobs, and economic prosperity they won't care about trans people. They aren't aliens they are people who fell for reactionary framing and if we can improve their life they will stop
@nickhbet@LonesomeWest So her policies needed to be more like John Fetterman? How do you square the most popular politicians being aoc, mamdani, and Bernie while centrist or right leaning Dems are chronically hated. Can you name a Dem politician more center right and popular?
@Hesho69165618@vampireshoshi@cakeboss26@LGBTQPete My anger comes from the fact that talarico will gain nothing if not lose momentum by conceding to republican framing while hurting trans ppl, Paxton still ran an ad attacking him on trans ppl after the statement. Conceding to dishonest framing only helps republicans
@Hesho69165618@vampireshoshi@cakeboss26@LGBTQPete Hey I just want to clarify, my main goal is republican loosing, I want talarico to win and if I lived in Texas I would vote for him and get as many friends and family to vote too.
@JoshDungan1@RighttooEarly@trouble_man90 How many more people do you think would vote republican vs would be a first time voter for the Dems if they succesed in giving women bodily autonomy
@JoshDungan1@RighttooEarly@trouble_man90 By taking away committee positions if they vote against and primaring them, do you not think it's a failure to let those senators block a bill before it is even voted on so they don't have to go on the record? Even if it wouldn't pass why not force the vote so it's on the record
@JoshDungan1@RighttooEarly@trouble_man90 You can't claim that roe was less important then the other things going on then say the result of those things have nothing do do with eachother. And I expect dem leadership to whip votes, threaten and follow through with taking away committee positions and primary threats
@JoshDungan1@RighttooEarly@trouble_man90 Are you saying you are so satisfied with the lack of prosecuting those responsible of the 08 crash and the watered down Obamacare that it makes up for not codifying roe?
