With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.
What I would give for some actual leftists who are tough.
We need a younger bernie who is more aggressive. Shut the fuck up about woke and LGBT stuff. Speak only about how billionaires and corporations and wall street are exploiting the poor and working class.
Tax the billionaires. Support the Working class. Accountability for the rich. No more of this laws are only for the poor nonsense.
Free Healthcare. Free college/university. Free meals for kids in schools. Fund our fucking public schools. Make the rich pay for it or they can get the fuck out.
I knew you people would disagree but I don’t care.
Inherently, leftists support protections for minorities. It’s part of being decent.
The problem is the conservative propaganda noise machine has amplified the anti-immigrant, woke and LGBT stuff as a distraction from the fact that billionaires are hoarding and stealing your wealth. And they’re gaining power to keep it this way.
The immigrant and LGBT stuff just angers bigots, gets them energized to vote against their own interests. Republicans are winning, bigly, not sure you’ve noticed.
It’s working because of people like you who can’t navigate this very successful propaganda.

Seems to me you are proposing that we cater to the bigots.

Yeah that’s a lot of words to tell me my empathy for people not like me is a problem.
I understand your frustration here. You and the minority communities do matter! With that said, the only way for you to have recognition and equality is to overthrow those in power. Those in power use you and other minorities as sock puppets pandering to wedge issues. While wedge issues are important to you and I, they are meaningless to those that use them to divided us.
If you let them keep using you as their wedge issue you can expect nothing but quarter measures and lip service in return. They need you to be that wedge issue to continue their robbery. You are being used, and as long as your useful nothing will materially change for you. You will be pulled left to right with every administration shift, never getting anything you need and deserve.
What matters to those in power is money. That’s it. Right and left alike. Nothing else! Not you or any minority or what you/they/I care about will change while these kinds of people are in power.
I’m not saying to put your priorities on the back burner. I’m saying we have to come together to burn the fascists down to get what we want together. Money out of politics is the only avenue for any change. That might have to be the only priority for a moment til we have a functioning government that has the power to actually change all our lives for the better.
The immigrant and LGBT stuff just gets bigots more energized to vote and fight. That is their tactic and they’re winning.
The conservatives are gaining power and enacting policies to entrench power. Destruction of education means less educated, therefore more ignorance and bigotry. Easy to manipulate.
Progressives need to win first, get power, then enact policy changes. Protections and support for minorities only comes when we have the power to enact such policies.
Keep amplifying the LGBT and immigrant stuff, bigots will keep voting for the cons. They’re winning.
Maybe, if we amplify how they’re being ripped off and manipulated by billionaires, we might gain some non-zero support.

So win by throwing the rights of the queer community and minorities to the dogs?

No, I want people who are louder about woke and LGBTQ stuff while holding billionaire’s and corpo feet to the fire.
Then we will lose.
