[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”

How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the Gestapo ICE? It’s getting scary for transgender people.

    She did not, in fact, run for office in Texas. Good news there too, trump created more house seats there to ensure continued ratfuckery. And she didn’t run on that either! Gosh. So terrible.

      She also didn’t run for incremental progress forward, or the Biden administration do much to stop anti abortion laws.

      Just like how dems never did anything to make Roe v Wade into law

        The only progressive things that have ever happened have been through the Dems. (Social Democrats? No. Greens? No. Piggy Party? Uh, no. ONLY the Democrats.) You want me to go dig up the various efforts to make it into law? I would except for one thing: You’re a bad faith actor with nothing to stand on, and it’d just waste my time. Again. So Pffthhhthth.

            As if any would ever make a difference to you. You’re open to nothing, bad-faith debating only with the single purpose of keeping republicans in power.

                No, no not at all. Working to advance any concrete political goals is not the Lemmyleft™ way.

                It’s just that you support the republicans at every turn by undermining any Democratic progress. Not that you are republicans. That would be too much investment.

                  So again to you being critical of the flaws in the left party in the usa means that person is a republican supporter?

                  What amazing logic. And any attempt to disprove this will still be ignored because I don’t like how similar the dems are to the republicans in their policy.

                  Impeccable

                    Yes, and here’s the empirical proof you conveniently refuse to cop to despite knowing how true it is: you do not support the only party that is in a position to stop the republican fascist agenda. Not on social media, not irl, and sure as shit not at the ballot box.

                    So you’re part of an imaginary “left” party, great. It doesn’t matter a single bit. Be a monarchist for all it fucking matters to anything. You’re not stopping the billionaire handmaidens, and everything you say is designed to ensure they will never be stopped.
