There's a difference between recognizing that defending democracy is absolutely the #1 thing to be talking about and doing that and entirely going "blah blah" at basic human rights
Trans rights are literally human rights. I’m fairly certain the Democratic platform is to protect human rights. How would it benefit us to focus on one particular niche right among the many, many others?
the right to clean air
the right to clean water
the right to medical care
the right to free speech
the right to choose your own gender
the right to remain silent
the right to eat pizza in the shower
the right to affordable housing
the right to education
the right to stick things in your butt
the right to listen to music
the right to eat random debris
the right to have cats
the right to own blankets
etcetera
All of these are rights. They’re all important. Not all of them matter to a single parent working minimum wage in Michigan. We need to use our brains folks.
Oh so Democrats are adopting policies to intentionally harm trans people now? To you not campaigning on something automatically means the candidate will work against that thing?
What is the cost of trans to society? Because there is in fact a cost to not keeping a minimum of control over how many people and who can immigrate to a country, so it's perfectly normal to want people to get in through the regular process instead of jumping a wall.
It's not a Republican talking point, it's a pragmatic talking point. Just like you don't give birth without the State knowing about it so they know who lives where and is entitled to what, you don't want people immigrating without knowing about it and filtering the people coming in to catch the few that shouldn't be allowed in the country at all.
Progressive parties all over the world have the same point of view, immigration needs to happen but it needs to be done correctly.
It 100% is. Which Republican talking points are you gonna adopt when (not if, WHEN) Democrats show their true colors to trans people like they have to the undocumented?
Can you explain? My impression is that democrats have fervently (and often to their own detriment) defended trans people from republicans. What are you talking about?
I agree with you regarding Biden on Israel. Most Americans remain staunchly and irrationally pro-Israel. Obviously public opinion is changing but slowly.
EDIT: a mod deleted my polite reply. I wonder what fraction of the people posting in here are Russian shills.
Thread's about how the party ignored the rights of trans people. And I'll notice you ignored what I said about Palestinians. Human rights also includes foreign policy.
Any defense of human rights is a defense of trans rights. I’m not sure why you find this confusing. Maybe you want these rights to be enumerated for pandering purposes?
Any defense of human rights is a defense of trans rights.
Hogwash. It's completely possible to defend human rights for some and not for others. Which is why you keep ignoring what I keep saying about Palestinians. How are their human rights holdin' up? How are Democrats' defense of human rights a defense for Palestinians' rights?
Oh yeah, they're selling weapons for the genocide of Palestinians. Turns out, "any defense of human rights" is not the same thing as "defending all humans' rights."
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.
