patriarchy sucks
Remember during the 2016 primaries when the hot takes were all “lol are they actually gonna choose Trump, what a windfall for Hillary! Trump must be a secret Dem plant to wreck the GOP and smash any hopes they had of winning!”

Trump's a longtime Democrat who threw in with the Republican party after Clinton lost the 08 primary in much the same way as Bernie was an independent who went Democrat to run, the Podesta leaks detail that the Clinton campaign's plan literally was to set him up to wreck the GOP and clear her path, he just underestimated how truly bad a candidate Hillary was and miscalculated throwing the match

poor guy doesn't have the slightest idea what the gently caress to do with a Presidency he just wants to play golf and see himself on TV from time to time

The problem is that people won't do this, hence the need to argue for these rights.

This wasn't an issue tho. Trans people have been using whatever bathrooms they've wanted to since the existence of separate bathrooms.

Some states have been tryin to pass laws to that effect. Though they are pretty unenforceable and mostly just a way for religious right to look down their noses.

I was just listening to the audio from a Canadian University where three faculty members held an inquisition of a TA because she showed her students a debate with some guy who is a bigot, I don't know, and it was really loving creepy. One of the worst things is how they wouldn't even tell her how many people had accused or reported her.

I'm a progressive person and general vote Dem ticket because I have a hard time trusting Republicans to handle anything, but holy poo poo this party is in so much trouble. Infighting and gender politics bullshit have completely crippled our ability to provide a message to people who are actually hurting. I'm pretty indifferent to gender politics and wish people could just move on past them. Let the trans people get called what they want and use the bathrooms. I don't give a gently caress it makes no difference to me.

Here in Seattle it's gonna cost me $293 to register my car, as well as another $300-400 repair for my wheel bearing and I'm living on welfare. But there's no real Dem support to actually get people like me into better training programs or networking connections so we can find well paying jobs suited to our skills. The simple fact is that Donald Trump, for all his idiocy, looked at a bunch of people who were suffering and said "I'm gonna make things better" while Clinton looked at people who were suffering and said "You're a bad person for not liking transexuals."
the democratic party has mostly the same wealthy donors as the republicans. the democrats are going to support their donors' policies. since the donor policies are at exact odds with what voters want, the democrats or republicans can't run on the donor policies. the political parties get votes through campaigning on policies the donors don't care about like guns or gay rights or identity politics. this is why whenever politicians campaign they use vague bullshit platitudes that don't mean anything instead of outlining concrete economic policies.

I really just wish that Bernie had won. He's not even that far left. He's basically just a FDR style democrat minus a preference for white people. That's near to communism in the eyes of the right wing but nobody should be loving paying attentionbto them. Betnie Sanders should represent a moderate and centrist opinion since he more or less promotes welfare capitalism which is hardly pinko commie poo poo unless you're a deluded moron.

Bernard Sanders would have won:
-The general election, had he been the democratic candidate.
-The democratic primaries, if they were held impartially, with open primaries and day-of voter registration.

they argued that they have no obligation to run a fair primary and that their own dnc charter is not legally binding. they didn't admit that they rigged it.

of course, this is still really bad.

Obama didn't prosecute wells fargo for the recent mass account fraud scandal. Obama stopped prosecution of any major financial or real estate institutions for mass fraud that caused the 2008 economic crisis. Obama didn't prosecute anyone for the robo fraud foreclosure scandal following the crisis. Obama gifted the major financial institutions with almost a trillion in unaccountable TARP bailouts and 4.5 trillion in quantitative easing. Obama carried water for these institutions after they gave themselves huge bonuses after getting bailed out. Obama did not nationalize the fraudulent failing banks and hedge funds that were bailed out (this had been done before in previous crisis). Obama ensured that protections for homeowners in the original tarp bill was removed. Obama made sure that the banks could foreclose on over 5 million american families. Obama made sure to implement austerity, a policy favored by banks. Obama in effect enacted policies that allowed fraudulent irresponsible lenders to be made whole on their bad loans and they also got the collateral on top of it. Obama's terrible policies were a large part of trump's win.

Thanks Obama.

I was going to write a big long post expanding on this because I feel like I could write a book on the crimes and shady poo poo that went down during the financial crisis, but I'll just sum it up with my favorite part:

Not a single wall st. executive went to jail or even to trial. And you had things like when Lehman was about to go under and the entire loving staff there was staying up all night shredding documents and walking out the next morning with trash bags full of shredded evidence. Nothing to see here folks!

They used the lack of obligation to run anything fair as an actual in court legal defense against Bernie's lawsuit alleging they rigged it.

So I mean you can argue they didn't put it on a neon billboard but yeah, they said it.

imagine taking this completely reasonable statement and then adding "and that's why i voted for trump" to the end. then slap a silent majority av on it and you got yourself a recipe for pure distilled smoothbrains.
