Yeah, now is not the time for the left to attack the left. The man clearly has good intentions, and his use of an improper pronoun is meaningless now.

i'm from the deep south. it's a loving terrible place to be in a wheelchair, as i learned a few years ago when a family member got paralyzed - sidewalks are beaten to absolute poo poo, when they're even available and people aren't parked across them, to say nothing about ADA accessibility

sure there are plenty of people receptive to the idea of helping the disabled more, even outside of the cities, since everyone has a parent or grandparent or older relative who can't move so well and relies on disability checks to make ends meet


those people also get turned right the gently caress off if you try to convince them that the language they think is innocuous is actually offensive. telling someone like that to vote for the party that wants to expand medicaid is much easier if you don't get upset w/ them about their use of "shemale" first

weird then how we just elected a president who harped about not giving a poo poo for politically correct language

language policing doesn't convince the people you need to win over and that hasta change

Doesn't alienate them either. What does is not talking about their pressing issues. It ain't about how Hillary was big on equality and women being cool, it was that her industry platform never got play. Obama ran on a 50/50 kind of split where he'd be in shitkicker county West Virginia talking about how he'd put them all to work building wind turbines one day and then head into Philly and talk about racism. Hillary had the same kind of plans in her platform but no ability to promulgate those ideas clearly in the media. Trump being a complete assclown and drawing the media into a lampooning contest didn't help. If anything his aggressive racism was a loving foil (intentional or unintentional) to his "promise them everything and figure it out later/never" strategy because it allowed people to zero in on the "holy gently caress this racist bastard and his few but high-viz literal Klan supporters" part.

I still say Jon Tester needs to be cloned a whole lot, but you need to make sure you get the missing fingers right or else he'll bust ya for it. Prairie progressivism/sewer socialism ought to make a comeback, because it frames those with how they will benefit people in real terms. You bust your rear end eight hours a day and your boss makes more per hour of your work than you do without even breaking a sweat, it's time to end that theft and put that profit where it belongs: on your paystub.

As much as I dislike language like that, I agree. And now simply isn't the time to get into issues like that when we're facing a very real possibility of gay marriages being annulled nation wide. We simply have no loving idea what is in store for us in the future. Things may very well get very bad, and liberties we take granted for may get taken away.

I wouldn't worry about gay marriage: outside Pence and the KKK, most people are over it and it'd piss repubs off more to revoke it.

Trans rights, however, is the real issue.

Very true. Transgender people are about to be screwed every which way. Trump, himself, seems apathetic to the LGBT cause, but his entire cabinet is actively anti-LGBT. I respect Hovercraft's point that pronouns don't matter as much as they did even last week, when transgender people are about to be hounded for proof of their god drat gender just to use the bathroom. These are dark times and leftists have to stay united.

More than a few Trump-ish people I've come in contact with have wholly deplorable views on everything, but have very explicitly said "if he tries to take away gay marriage, we'll fight him too"

I don't really know if they'll stick by that, but it does seem to be an issue a lot of the Right has softened on a lot

if he(at Pence's behest) really does try to annul that, it could become a loving HUGE shitshow, a lot of protests turning ugly in a hurry

Look, I don't know what he'll do in regards to gay marriage, because I don't know what he'll do in regards to anything. But just about anything the left holds dear is in jeopardy at the moment precisely because we have no idea what's to come.

I dunno I think little things are the best step to bigger things. For example seeing trans people as people worthy of being called whatever they like is the first step to thinking "Hey you know what? They probably deserve the medical care they need too."

if cispersons had a random chance to get murdered every time they took a piss we would probably hear less whining about how people should shut up about bathrooms wtf is the big deal but idk
