    “they need to be put under a microscope”

    You know what they say, there’s no one like someone on the left to make sure the most progressive party lose votes.

    There’s so much stuff politicians won’t talk about on the campaign trail because they’re wedge issues and because their records already show they’re in favor/against those things, it’s better to shut up than to alienate a lot of voters to please few voters. Spoiler alert, not all Democrats voters care about trans rights and more of them will jump ship if they believe Harris is woke than will jump in the ship if she starts talking about trans rights during the campaign because the majority of people who support trans rights already understand that the Democrats support their rights even if they don’t make it a campaign issue.

      Calling Democrats the “most progressive party” is like calling a carpet bombing the “most peaceful action” because the alternative is a thermonuclear bomb.

            That’s a pretty ridiculous answer… One party tried to increase healthcare access the other destroys whatever progress the other party made. One party is in favor of science, the other chooses a president that suggests injecting bleach to get rid of diseases. One party tries to create digital programs, the other blocks any attempts at it…

              One party is fully owned by the ultra-wealthy and will not do anything to even slightly weaken the oppression of the 99%, the other party is fully owned by the ultra-wealthy and will not do anything to even slightly weaken the oppression of the 99% and also lies about it.
