tbf it can be pretty hard to give money to charity or volunteer a meaningful amount of time if you're poor yourself, working multiple jobs, mentally ill and self-medicating with drugs/alcohol, etc, which a lot of millennials are

posting about brands, and complaining about people posting about brands, is much more accessible

Like I'm trying to imagine the nightmare scenario these people are envisioning -- Bernie Sanders sells out trans people in exchange for a medicare expansion? Maybe similar things have happened in the past but it's not a given that they must happen in the future. Finding the broadest common interest seems like best way to mobilize a coalition that can actually stand up to the Right.

it's absolutely not a paranoid thing, especially for numerically marginalized groups like trans and muslim americans - i.e. people who don't count for many votes - to worry about being thrown under the bus in the name of a broader populist agenda

but yeah there's no guarantee it would happen, and also, uh... the american right is already aggressively trying to legislate transpeople back into the closet and find pretenses to deport or kill all muslims so it's kind of unreasonable to imagine a world where a left populist movement spearheaded by people like sanders who probably have more of a sincere commitment to social justice than most party leadership would end up making things worse in that regard

there's really nowhere for trans rights in the worst states to move but up, short of reeducation and death camps

If (sadly) anything? The Clinton/Obama/Neoliberal record in regards to women, minorities, muslims, and LGBT has been pretty bad. I mean if you're in a position of economic privilege? You're perfectly fine, and the problems caused by them going full right wing didn't really touch you.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
Fox is thought to have spent approximately 13 million on settling O'Reilly related sexual harassment lawsuits from five different women and this is hitting the news right after their long-time chairman Roger Ailes had to step down over multiple allegations of sexual harassment. This is hardly "all of a sudden", it's more like the pressure has built for so long that the dam is starting to break.
