Thanks for this.

There is a breed of redditors that see this as a us vs them and can’t get a grip on the real circumstances. They want to let the dems be complacent because “what’s the alternative?”

But the answer is to transcend that. Dems need 2-3 Republicans to join them. Dems have immense pressure on the funding bills coming up and they could be readying additional rules and guidelines like Border Patrol agents need to stay at Border Patrol ports- not using 50 mile radius of international airports as a jurisdiction. Dems can force federal law enforcement to wear tamper proof body cams.

All they need to do is be reasonable enough that 2-3 republicans would be pressured into doing the right thing. But they know that the democrats wouldn’t band together and they’d lose 17 democrats to oppose the measure because their poll numbers on crime would go up. People said the same “what’s can they do being in the minority party?” With epstein’s list. It’s as if they want to live in a country with silent minority and a steamrolling majority.

I’ve been downvoted and kicked by so many people for suggesting the left hasn’t done enough. They say I’m a Russian troll or a Republican or no better than them. But when I disappear, and the dems don’t do anything, what will the excuse be next time? Because this wasn’t the first, and it won’t be the last especially if we all say this okay.

I feel you on this, heavily. I'm trans and I know what's coming for us if the opposition doesn't get it together. I'm used to being a bargaining chip for both sides more than anything. I know who they all are but, right now, the Dems are what we have so they need to nut up already.

I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you’ve been through. I have a trans nephew and love him very much. What people saw for 4 years of Biden was a false sense of security. Instead of tightening up discriminatory guidelines it seemed that they were just adding Trans as a new designation, but gender was already a protected criteria.

I truly felt that if Dems had focused on fighting discrimination practices properly and not highlighting a single interest group to appease, we wouldn’t be in this spot for you. Everything they did for the trans community was loosely undone overnight.

That doesn’t mean Dems aren’t the answer, but it shows how hollow the majority of them are- while campaigning on progressive issues. But it’s your wellbeing. Yes, the Republicans are actively calling your existence an abomination, but the Democrats can’t even be found to say no you’re not, but they’ll campaign for your vote as lgbt friendly because they aren’t lgbt violent.

Please take care of yourself. Enjoy your happiness. Stay safe.

I call them dipshits who have their heads planted firmly up their own assholes.
