Protection of democracy is paramount. Everything else - everything - is secondary. There are a hundred things that need to be fixed, and that has to happen after.
The fact that this needs to be said is a testament to the efficacy of Republican culture war bullshit. Instead of discussing the numerous unprecedented existential threats to human civilization, everything from pollution to the end of democracy, we’re focused on… trans rights. We are so fucked.
There’s a difference between recognizing that defending democracy is absolutely the #1 thing to be talking about and doing that and entirely going “blah blah” at basic human rights
Trans rights are literally human rights. I’m fairly certain the Democratic platform is to protect human rights. How would it benefit us to focus on one particular niche right among the others, many of which are way more important?
Oh so Democrats are adopting policies to intentionally harm trans people now? To you not campaigning on something automatically means the candidate will work against that thing?
Thread’s about how the party ignored the rights of trans people. And I’ll notice you ignored what I said about Palestinians. Human rights also includes foreign policy.

After.
Yes, even for that. Because secondary.

Fuck off with the dismissal of human rights.
If that’s what you got from my comment the Republicans have radicalized you.

*offer void for Palestinians and trans people.

They came around on immigration. They’ll come around on trans rights. Wonder who’s next.
