    Ok, so you want me to be happy with a party that is concerned with human rights for only some people.

    If your support for human rights does not include Palestinians, how can anyone trust that it includes trans people without some indicator?

      Do they need to mention every single group whose rights they want to protect or are you able to read between the lines and look at the policies Democrat States have adopted these past 4 years vs Republican States?

        I do not trust Democrats not to move to the right, as they do so every chance they have. Failure to address things like trans rights specifically means they’re the next group under the bus.

          No, it doesn’t. Trans aren’t the only group being oppressed by Republicans and they’re not the biggest group either, women and ethnic minorities represent a much bigger part of the population and supporting them doesn’t alienate some electors because it’s not considered woke (or not as much) to do so, which openly supporting trans rights is.

          People on the left will always find excuses to open the door to the right wing party because they’re looking for moral purity… The problem is that your definition of that purity would mean a party unable to get elected, so you’re better off accepting that some issues you care about won’t be front and center during the campaign even though the party still agrees with you.

            Yes, and they get mentioned because it’s not their turn under the bus yet.

            Centrists will always capitulate to the right and dismiss anyone who is upset about it with this “purity” bullshit.

                Oh so in your mind the Democrats will stop abortions and stop fighting inequality based on ethnic background?

                Given enough time and enough apologists like you, absolutely. We’ve already adopted Republican policy on immigration, and you’re spewing their talking points.
