Saw a report that Sarah McBride had called for a Democratic Party that had a broad range of views on trans rights.

Too many Democrats and I'm looking at you Schumer, are surrendering without even a token political fight.

In the UK, we have a nominally left-wing Party that's pro-Brexit, anti-immigration, authoritarian, anti-protest, transphobic, market-worshipping, austerity for the poor and tax breaks for the rich, ableist, genocide-supporting and economically incompetent. They won because the electorate decided they were the surest way of punishing the Blue Tories and that's all. Next time around, the far right be they Conservative or Reform will win as a consequence. The moral is you don't ultimately win by becoming the enemy.

Democrats, if you don't fight everything tooth and nail now in the political arena, you're going to end up with a weapon in your hands fighting off the New Gestapo when they come for you. It might be too late already.

Oh dear!

Somebody please tell her that trying to be one of the 'good ones' never ends well.

It's rather like inviting the face-eating leopards into your own house. 🙄
