Yes, you should vote for Democrats in the midterms because they are objectively the better option and are the most democratic in party in the U.S. Please lay off the Tankie Kool-Aid my guy.

this guy gets it. your typical voter just does not care about this shit. does not mean that they support trans inclusion, it just means that it is incredibly low on the bottom of things they even think about.

DAY 8 - STINKY The stink of durian is actually very comforting to me. It reminds me of all the times I'd go to the Asian supermarket with my grandma as a kid. The smell might be offensive to some, but to me it feels like home! #art | #inktober | #mspaint

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?
4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

the other thing is that this is a totally incoherent and arbitrary standard for deciding who has rights and who doesn't. you could say the same, for instance, of alito's vision of inviolate "religious liberty" or expansive gun rights.

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

Liberalism's 'clever trick' is that it doesn't attempt to set perfectly equitable society-wide rules for all of these questions, it just removes the questions entirely by reducing the communal claim on the individual, creating a 'sphere of liberty' covering most of our day-to-day lives.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.
