Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain’t dead. Remember, don’t downvote for disagreements.

    If the left you’re talking about is the dems, no the fuck they aren’t. Dems aren’t the ones constantly putting forth bills about Trans people. The most any dem has done is post some milqtoast “trans rights” sticker or something.

    But I agree I think the dems shouldn’t have justified the fear mongering about immigrants when the right started screeching about it. But that’s also on news orgs justifying it.

      Yeah it seems it’s conservatives who are the ones who like to obsess and make it the topic of discussion to make their followers think it is the left’s primary platform of focus.

      And then they also fixate on entertainment like games or movies to further play up how everything is woke as though it’s the left politicians making all that.

      And it’s because that’s really the only compelling thing they have to play up to their followers who too make it their entire identity of conflict, since their other policies aren’t working class friendly.

        since their other policies aren’t working class friendly.

        It can not be stressed enough that every single other policy they have is damaging to the working class. I think that’s why they push on transphobia so hard, because it’s the only one that doesn’t.
