Bruh, voting Democrat isn't a leftist thing to do. It's a "lesser of two evils" thing to do. Democrats are pretty staunchly on the right. They aren't giving meaningful pushback to the anti-trans stuff, and are largely avoiding it because Dems are also generally conservatives.

I think you over-estimate how far left you are, because even when you're being genuine you still come across as pretty conservative, which makes sense why you're comfortable voting for Democrats.


This is a pretty big problem with the American political system.

America isn't a true multiparty liberal democracy. It is a two-party state, which is a system in-between a true liberal democracy and a one-party state such as China.

The Democrats are the Left party, and the Republicans are the Right party. There are far left and far right elements in both parties respectively.

In a true democracy there would be a far left party and a far right party (like what exists in most European liberal multiparty democracies).

The far left people think that the Democrats are too right wing, and the far right people think that the Republicans are too left wing.

I would argue that the current state of the Democratic party is that it is a wholly far left party. But still not far left enough for some people.

My sense is this is being normalized, when it was never normal even if you remove the lgbtq angle to it.

The sane thing is to ask these people what and why the fuck are you twerking in a thong in front of a kid at a b-day party or story hour because we never found that normal and acceptable behavior prior.


I follow A LOT of conservatives and channels that respond to conservatives.

They have a fucking army scouring the globe for examples and maybe come up with it happening once a year the world over.

The idea that it's being normalized or happening with any kind of frequency is a fabrication. Plain and simple. That doesn't mean conservatives are gonna stop claiming it's happening though. They will not shut up about it happening even though they almost never find examples.

Even in the USA Democrats are not leftist. They are pretty often significantly right of their constituents.

Even Joe Manchin is to the right of his voters, but he also has to appease the fossil fuel lobby that is huge in his state.


this is a point ive been also bringing up for over a decade, so im confused why you're saying it.

for mainstream american politics i am left of center, and vote left. i thought that meaning was clear, but instead it drew my 100th lesson of how america is a corporatized swamp compared to the EU.

What's next? am i a bad person because i'm not up to the EU standard of leftist ideology? :lol:

Forget the EU, you're not even a leftist by American standards tbh.

You're at best an American centrist, voting for Democrats who are closer to the center but still absolutely to the right of the average voter due to corporate forces.

I guess I'm confused because this isn't happening, nor is it being advocated for. Is this something you've heard about via conservative channels?


There are videos surfacing of this regularly on Twitter. Usually it's a crowd and you have some MtF overly exposed dancing in a sexual manner. If it was one or two videos over a long time span i'd discard it as a very isolated thing but there's literally one of these videos a week popping up.

Nah, what they do is they take the same videos and post them over and over and over and say "we found this video" even though its the one they showed 3 months ago and actually happened in 2015.


There's tons of channels for "black on white violence" that do the same thing. Constantly repost clips from decades ago on constant repeat to make it seem like it's a common occurance.

This is what the far left does. They hate anybody who isn't as radical and crazy as they are. You are a "Menshevik", which the Bolsheviks still consider "far right"
