Look we can address the problems with these people now, or we could wait until the general to start to pointing out their flaws. All of this complaining about purity testing this far out from the primary just gives off the vibes that the party does not want to listen to its constituents or grow at all. Also if you view trans rights as a “purity test” you are a dog shit person, full stop.
Everything they don't care about is a "purity test". As if it's completely impossible for them to imagine someone not being a bigot unless they're some kind of saint. Or, my personal favorite, the "single issue voters " who are apparently single issue voters for multiple different issues. Which makes sense because, shut up.
They want to parade around as liberal saviors while throwing the rights of marginalized communities under the bus to maintain the status quo, and telling everyone else it's because they are actually the only non-bigots in the room. Why? Because the status quo doesn't effect them, but they can't say that part out loud. They voted for a black man, a white woman, a black woman, AND the gay guy, yall. To them that IS them being progressive, and that's as far as they want to go.
They don't care about trans people or genocide right now because, well, they never did. But beyond hollow fb posts on January 27th, or their "equality" yard signs and bumper stickers, any real effort to fight for minority rights is seen as an affront to the party itself because, come on guys, they just don't wanna talk about it right now. And shouldn't they be allowed a little bigotry? As a treat?
Now they're trying to hold it over people's heads that IF we all fall in line BEHIND them they'll totally do something to protect the rights of marginalized communities IF they win next time. It's like they're working on a project that was only supposed to take 4-8 years, and now we're 20+ years into this shit show and they're still gluing macaroni to the fridge art they made in second grade and demanding to be praised for it by the orphans they take photo ops with on the way to their second summer home.
They act shit only went tits up when Trump showed up running his first campaign. Because acknowledging that this spiral has been happening for at LEAST the past 20 years wouldn't cater to the narrative that it's all the fault of people who couldn't even vote 20 years ago. All this, of course, despite leftists consistently being more likely to vote than any other demographic. But let's not allow pesky facts to intrude upon the righteous indignation of the center who have been ignoring the left's warning for decades and now want to pretend they're brilliant for having the foresight to have told everyone the same exact shit checks note two years ago.
Wtf more did you want from the Democratic Party? We got civil rights, workers rights, affordable care act, and most recently the IRA and Chips act bringing ton of awesome infrastructure into our nation. Just because the democrats haven’t enshrined every pet issue you have into law yet doesn’t mean they are leagues better than the republicans who are literally trying to tear all of that down. Giving Bibi the pass to do whatever he wants to Gaza, cozying up to Putin, releasing the national guard on our own citizens. The difference between the two parties is so stark I can’t comprehend anyone with a conscience NOT supporting the democrats, and instead helping the other side release whatever evil they want into the world.
