    The comments have went so far off the rules (and rails). Locking, because mods volunteer, and we’ve been flooded with reports for this post thread alone.

    Hey, so as a trans person in Ohio, where both of my gubernatorial candidates hate trans people, it’s decidedly not an easy choice.

    There wasn’t a Dem primary either.

    Sorry to say, but reality doesn’t conform to your MS Paint meme :/

    “Remember you stupid tr#nnies, your job is to support the party, no matter how much the candidate we nominate hates you. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and get in line. We need your votes, not your voices. The correct time to oppose the TERFS is not during the first year’s primary (we let candidates hide their transphobia during the first primary.) It’s certainly not during the first general election. It’s during the primary, you stupid tr#nny!”

    "Also, please be aware that it is irresponsible to primary a TERF democrat running for reelection in a purple district. We can’t give up an incumbent seat after all. You’ll just have to wait and vote SO HARDS until that district votes so overwhelmingly blue that it becomes a safe seat. Then it will be acceptable to primary the TERF we put forward. Also, please be aware that before running in that primary, your new candidate will first have to get passed the real primary, the money primary to decide who gets to be on the primary ballot. Ok, now that your role is clear, blue no matter who. Remember tr#nnies, you’re fabulous and we love you. And remember, if we lose, it’s all your fault and you deserve whatever laws are passed against you! Slay gurl! Hope this helps! Don’t forget to sign up to canvas for the terf as this year’s pride! 🥰 🥰 🥰 "

    Here is why no one on the progressive left likes Democrats.

    And the fact everyone on the left gets called “liberals” in here shows this is probably a rightwing bs post

    Democrats are not an opposition party. They just play one on tv, like professional tv wrestling. They take turns being the “heel” and the “hero”.

    Anyway,

    Hakeem secretly meets with Kushner who is a known traitor and foreign agent and also, officially, is an unelected official with no standing in the government. https://time.com/article/2026/08/24/hakeem-jeffries-private-meeting-with-jared-kushner-draws-backlash-ahead-of-midterms/

    AIPAC Democrats are funding aipac Republicans over DSA and progressive candidates that are against blowing up children and innocents. This means no one of importance will be held meaningfully responsible for the destruction of our country. "Democratic Primaries: AIPAC’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP), spent $53.6 million in independent expenditures by August 2026, primarily to defeat Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan) and Cori Bush (Missouri). In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC spent $24 million to unseat progressives in Democratic primaries. Republican Campaigns: AIPAC also supports Republicans, endorsing over 100 members of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election. However, its Republican spending is often directed against candidates AIPAC deems “insufficiently supportive” of Israel, such as Thomas Massie (KY) in 2026, whom UDP targeted with $3.58 million in opposition. Donor Overlap: A Politico report found that 46% of AIPAC donations to Democratic candidates in 2024 came from donors who had previously supported Republican causes or candidates since 2020, including GOP billionaires like Paul Singer and Haim Saban. "

    Tammy Duckworth says that Dems shouldn’t be “impeaching nobody” and we should work with the pedophilic, traitorous, authoritarian who has broken more laws than exist.

    https://youtu.be/Cm53m1L4Vas?is=qDThCb9RhXqqzxkl

    No one likes the Dems and everyone knows that nothing will happen that causes any real change after they get elected. Everything we want will be on the back burner because “we don’t want another trump again”

    Status quo doesn’t work anymore

    I have no hope for America, it’s a so-called society of hedonistic, intellectually challenged children and seriously depraved, amoral sociopaths. Being a genocidal settler colony turned slaveowner paradise, I have never expected it to be anything more than what it is. And these kinds of “arguments” just give me more supporting evidence. Oh well. America could have 5 civil wars and they still wouldn’t change their ethos, believe me.

    Primaries are for getting the candidates you want. General elections are for picking the candidate who is closest to your values. If you really want change candidates, get involved in your candidates primary push. Just bitching on here and sitting out on civic action is selfish catharsis.

    “For dinner you can pick between overcooked turkey, or a bowl aged horse urine, children’s fingers, and broken glass. You have to eat one of them.”

    “Neither option is vegan and the turkey is dry, so it doesn’t matter which one I eat .”

    Who thinks they’re exactly the same? Nobody. One is pro-trans, the other is pro-church, and we all know this (for one example).

    They are bOtH anti-union, pro-billionaire, and pro-war. So… some people have a problem with this. To some people, these issues could even be more important to them than trans or church issues. and that’s okay.

    This is an issue 24 months before an election, or 12 months, or 6 months, or 1 month. You’ll hear “bOtH pArTiEs” for the rest of your life, and it’s true! Best to come to terms with it.

    eta Also, do remember that Trump was pro-trans and a Democrat. It doesn’t matter; they don’t really hold any convictions and will drop you like a hot potato at the first opportunity.

    Muricans, don’t fuck this up. We’re so tired of all the political news from your country dominating every single “global” space. Sincerely, the rest of the world.
