However, since Trump’s win, some Democrats have been accused of “selling out” trans people. In January, two Democrats voted with Republicans to ban trans women and girls from competing in women’s sports.

If it’s only two democrats doesn’t that mean they voted against their party? This isn’t the Democratic Party. It’s a couple outliers.

This seems like another bad faith “both sides r same”.

There is definitely OEM brands of oil

Manufacturers absolutely make profit selling parts for maintenance. That’s why dealerships only use OEM parts.

I see progressives on here everyday attacking democrats for fundraising.

Why is it that both Trump and progressives on lemmy want the DNC to not have fundraising?

This mindset is how Trump got a 2nd term

China attacking fishing ships around Vietnam and the Philippines.

The Sino–Indian border dispute.

You don’t care about “your people’s” plight as we can prove with Trump’s 2nd term.

Policy on Palestine definitely did change. Protestors are disappearing and Trump plans to own Gaza and much more.

This is the result of bad faith actors like yourself helping Trump get elected.

It didn’t hold Dems accountable. It got Trump elected because that was the intent all along.

There are many constituents that support Israel. As you pointed out yourself it is a politicians job to represent those constituents.

The bad guys in this are the bad faith actors that use Gaza to justify helping Trump get elected.

They ALL claim they voted for Harris while in the same breath spreading FUD towards Harris.

The people like yourself, that complained about our only choice other than fascism, are the ones to blame for getting fascism elected.

I blame everyone who didn’t vote for Harris. They all contributed to Trump and his fascist takeover.

Gaza protestors were tricked into voting against their own best interest and that is a lesson that should be learned from instead of repeated.

But bad faith actors like yourself don’t care about Israel or Gaza. You are just trying to get less people to vote against fascism.

Good thing Gaza protestors didn’t vote for “Genocide Joe”. /s

They need to start poking bears. Use the laws even if outnumbered. Show force; show pressure.

These words mean nothing. They are not a strategy or a plan or even coherent.

You’re avoiding the fact that in a democracy, you need enough votes to make things happen.

Tell us what is happening. Get the word out. We can’t help if all we hear is what has happened.

We know what’s happening. That’s why we are having this conversation.

The rules have changed and democrats are still using a textbook from 1990.

What rules have changed? Republicans are breaking the rules by performing a coup. To even imply that democrats should do the same thing as republicans shows you’re arguing in bad faith.

The primaries are where the party platform is shifted. It’s how the Republicans got first the Tea Party and then MAGA.

Which is why we need the DNC to vet candidates as much as possible. So we don’t end up getting some democrat version of Trump through open primaries.

Did leftists stay home during the election and hand over the US to fascists because of spongebobcase?

Who gave up other than leftists on Election Day? Democrats are still trying to block legislation in the house and senate without a majority.

Filibusters don’t stop anything. Just delay it. Republicans are able to obstruct by tricking progressives into electing republicans like Fetterman and Sinema.

Democrats are obstructing legislation in the house as much as possible but they don’t have a majority so their success is dependent on republican infighting.

I wish leftists knew how to win elections so we could get politicians that vote on leftist policies. But leftists are unpopular among voters and consistently lose elections.

It seems like every time a progressive gets elected they end up being a republican like Fetterman and Sinema.

What choice do we have? Leftists stayed home during the election because of gEnOcIdE. So now democrats don’t have enough elected officials to do anything. Thanks leftists!

Too many leftists stayed home during the election. Now democrats don’t have enough elected officials to do anything. But you probably knew that.
