    Do you know the first thing about the Democratic platform? It’s not perfect - and they’re not perfect - but I have a trans kid, and they’re the ones who want him to have rights and be treated like a human being. They’re also the ones who want to raise taxes on the rich to fund social services. They’re also the ones who accept the demonstrable reality of climate change. They’re also the ones who resist efforts to put religion into schools and government.

    Are they as left as I wish they were? Nope. But they’re not conservative, either, at least not most of them.

      I guarantee they will not accomplish anything: they want to hold it over you to score votes in perpetuity. they will also continue to take corporate dollars and water down legislation that does pass so it greases the palms of their donors.

        Your guarantee is worthless and idiotic. The fact that they’re not perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t 10,000% better in every way than Republicans. Enough of this bullshit “both sides” narrative. I’ll stick to the side that isn’t trying to take my son’s rights away.

          the didn’t codify roe v Wade. they passed tarp and the patriot act. they fund police and prisons and war. they passed Obama are as a gift to insurance industries. they didn’t jail bp executives for deepwater horizon and even paid oil companies for Correxit.

          democrats are not your friend: they are the “good cop”.

            That’s all true, but none of that means anything to a trans person who wants to not get their rights taken away, though.

            they passed [Obamacare] as a gift to insurance agencies

            The original single-payer Obamacare failed by one vote so if there were more Democrats elected we would have single-payer health care.

            Your weird fantasy doesn’t align with reality and this is true at all levels
