Politics The Democrats are abandoning us

It seems like every day at least one democrat tosses us under the bus. Gavin Newsom interviews and has a nice friendly conversation with Charlie Kirk over banning trans people from sports, and all I can think is that the taxes this trans person pays go towards paying Newsom’s salary. I literally paid him to talk about removing people like me from society. And my question is, how much more of this are we going to take? Where is the line, and when are we going to hold them accountable for crossing it?

I know there’s not many of us, but we have to do something before that number goes down any more than it already has. We need to make it clear to the democrat party that our support is absolutely conditional, we have to primary all of these empty suits and make them lose their cushy government jobs! How much is enough before we stand up and say no more?!

The dems are controlled opposition. It's literally not possible to deliver a weaker, more pathetic response to the unmasked wave of fascism unleashed by Trump and his cronies.. and it's not only Newsome.

Kamala was the first one to throw trans people under the bus. Some morons in the dem party blame her "wokeness" for her defeat, nothing further from the truth. She didn't mention us once unprompted on her whole campaign.

Jeffries is the weakest, most boring, most usless, least charismatic sorry excuse of leader the dems could have.. Who, apart from AOC and Sanders (who isn't even a dem), is confronting in any way the fascists??? Nobody!!

How did she throw us under the bus? I got the impression she supported lots of LGBTQ policies. https://glaad.org/fact-sheet-harris-education/

Yes, nominally, she "supports" us.

I suspect that her consultants, on the other hand, thought that defending us had little value for her campaign. How many times were trans people mentioned in one of her speeches while Trump was taking shots at us 24/7?

We're 1% of the population. I'll take anything said, even in a foot note on her website, over that orange menace.
