In audio released Friday evening, senators and representatives from Ohio and Michigan revealed the “endgame” is to ban transgender care “for everyone.”

    Which means it’ll be banned in red states.

    Occasionally Democrats from blue states will do what they’ve done with abortion and cannabis legalization and the minimum wage: They’ll look at the victims of Republican policy in red states and say they deserve it. Say their suffering is a good thing because they committed the heinous sin of being outnumbered.

    But what Democrats won’t do is try to protect the human rights of vulnerable minorities on the national level. That would require getting rid of the filibuster.

      And when the filibuster is needed to stop that really heinous shit the republicans want to do?!

      Every damn time… “get rid of the filibuster!” As regular as Texas wanting to secede whenever some weak-ass republican needs to pump up his base.

      Also, the “dems are just as bad” is tired tripe, and I don’t know what kind of dems you hang around, but I’ve not heard any that think those victimized by republican policies “deserve it”. Bugger off with that “both sides” bs.

        The filibuster is currently enabling the heinous shit republicans want to do. Every state law that fucks over marginalized groups is there because Democrats consider their rights less important than the Jim Crow Filibuster.

        I don’t know what kind of dems you hang around, but I’ve not heard any that think those victimized by republican policies “deserve it”.

        Then you’ve been paying no attention at all whatsoever. Or you know better and are lying.

            It’s Republicans’ fault.

            Democrats are more interested in preserving the Jim Crow Filibuster than they are in preserving human rights.

            This enables Republicans.

            I thought you said you wouldn’t be posting here anymore. Can’t wait for the abuse to resume.

              Sure bud, but the issue is the same. You are blaiming again something that the republicans the to the democrats…

              Well, so far I haven’t seen democrats doing what you claim, burt in the other hand i have seen republicans removing rights of the population. Way to go again with blaming democrats for a republican doing… ironic.

              For some reason it shows on my lista. Again i will just wait to claim that i am something just because you have trouble reading and understanding.

                You haven’t seen Democrats refusing to get rid of the Jim Crow Filibuster?

                https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-again-reiterates-his-commitment-to-protecting-filibuster

                There ya go. The single most representative Democrat letting everyone know where the party he owns stands on keeping the relic of Jim Crow that Democrats love.

                Republicans care about trans people. They want them dead or suffering.

                Democrats claim to care about trans people, but they refuse to kill the filibuster to secure their rights. If given a choice between human rights and the filibuster, Democrats prefer the filibuster in all cases.

                just because you have trouble reading and understanding.

                I understand what you’re saying. I’m not buying it because it’s bullshit.

                  Funny when you say that, remembrer that the republicans still always block things foe the democrats. You are angry about one filibuster that makes the minority have a voice in the senate? Regardless of the name… ohhhhh i get it it is because of the name, which ironically roday is used by the conservatives that still claim that the confederacy is a hereitage.

                  Maybe you forgot that not long ago the republicans became the conservatives. You must be really angry at the maga gop for the same right?

                  Sure bud, they don’t care… but then again, who are the ones removing the rights of the citizens? At this point is still a fallacy that you claim is the fault of the democrats.

                  Also from your article “The filibuster plays an important role in protecting our democracy from the transitory passions of the majority and respecting the input of the minority in the Senate. Contrary to what some have said – protecting the role of the minority, Democrat or Republican, has protected us from the volatile political swings we have endured over the last 233 years. The role of the minority is what ensures the policies of our nation have input from all corners of the country. We must never forget that the Senate governs for all 50 states, not just red or blue states."

                  But sure bud… next time read the article to understand, and don’t claim that just because of the name is a bad thing. Let the adults discuss the topic without hypocrisy or like tge ignorance of just thinking a filibuster is bad for the name.

                    And now you’ve become angry and incoherent. Next you’ll be following me around to harass me in other communities.

                    EDIT: Called it.
