True, but he will never have the magnificent eyebrows that define true gravitas. His eyebrows, like his posture, display his weakness as much or more than his whining rambling vocalizations.

Too many so called “progressives/liberals“ are neither progressive nor liberal minded. Progressive, by definition doesn’t mean backtracking on rights. You cannot call yourself progressive or liberal if you are not protecting the most vulnerable of people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids

On the one hand, very “It wasn’t a robbery, it was a drug deal” vibes here. I would routinely have clients insist that admitting to drug trafficking as their defense would somehow be exculpatory. On the other hand, this is very much a “no, if I drown I’m pulling you down with me.” So, yeah, ok.

Newsom, like Cuomo, is a special kind of blue state jackass who'd be a Republican if he lived in a red state. There's no path to power for him as a Republican in California, so he's cosplaying as a Democrat and corrupting the party as a result. Remember: he loves billionaires and hates you and me.

Susan Collins is corrupt, the FBI probably had her, but Trump made the investigation go away? Collins’ actions show she’s been on board with the corrupt, anti-democracy ideological project since at least 2017—while pretending to be “concerned” about it—but a personal angle too fills in some blanks.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

“It can’t be the policy of the Democrats that every unpopular position is surrendered.” Interracial marriage did not have majority support until 1997. Reducing your politics only to what’s popular is cruel madness, especially because opinions can and will shift in alignment with laws.

U.S. Approval of Interracial Marriage at New High of 94%

Ninety-four percent of U.S. adults now approve of marriages between Black people and White people. Just 4% approved when Gallup first asked the question in 1958.

Even if you shelve the morality of the cause, Dems' only politically strategic move is to double-down on supporting trans people and go on the offensive against the bullies. To do otherwise is just to concede on an issue Dems are tied to like it or not.
