Zohran Mamdani Speaks Out For Trans Rights

One more reason the establishment democratic leadership is allied with the right in trying to do everything imaginable to sabotage or at least marginalize and dismiss Mamdani's mandate and popularity.
The more he stands up for what people actually want, and stands up for marginalized or "controversial" groups and ideas, the more glaring it becomes how they won't.
Unfortunately, the average liberal, middle-class American is largely ambivalent on things like trans-rights still, BUT that doesn't mean they don't care. A lot of people DO want to see people protected broadly. This can influence elections, this can become a tipping point for "regime change" in the Democratic party.
The current Dem leadership loves the fact that liberal america is ambivalent about trans rights and will work actively to keep it that way, because it means they don't have to take a stance on it, they don't have to actually care, and this lets them court the neo-libs and conservatives as the Overton Window is bought and sold on the market to whoever has the deepest pockets.

You don't mess with the Zohran.
If any group doesn't have rights, than everyone else can easily lose rights.
Doesn't matter who you are, ICE could grab and disappear you and no one would ever know.
So you just need to not give anyone the right for the removal of anyone's rights, and boom, problem solved.
But the oligarchs donot want the problem solved. They want us fighting over this instead of asking why we let them hoard all of our wealth.
LBJ said it one time after seeing racist graffiti in an area where everyone was experiencing severe poverty.
It wasn't that he was advocating for it, it was the blunt realization of how effective republicans were using racism to distract from wealth inequality. There's a lot of racists in power, but the people who put them there don't care about race, they see anyone who isn't a billionaire as not a real person, regardless of race.
Definitely. I notice my colleagues, who are kind of on the right, are more animated and vibrant talking about culture wars. Not once I have heard them talk about wealth inequality. I mentioned it in another post that it's easier to stoke angry emotions towards one another.
Bring that shit up.
Be a broken fucking record about it.
Either you'll get thru to them, or they'll avoid talking "politics" around you because you always just being up how it's the billionaires fault...
Which they do agree with, and they even understand they agree with.
But then you're not having to talk to them and a constant reminder that whatever they were about to removed about:
Wouldn't it be nice to just support human rights? The one thing all of these groups have in common is their humanhood.
Well at least until we reach a 'body of Theseus' point in technological augmentation. Then we may need to rebrand 'human rights' to 'consciousness rights' or something more catchy.
We don't even know what "consciousness" is, let alone any kind of "consciousness rights".
Like, it's just not something really anyone's been looking into, with the exception of probably the legit worlds smartest human who "retired" from physics 30 years ago
Like, one old dude dicking around in retirement, and a couple of associates.
There's a long way to go before we can replicate a consciousness.
Yah I'm sure that will be any day now.
Fascists? White supremacists? Eugenicists? Genocidists? Rapists?
That's what's neat about human rights. Even people who are bad at this particular point in time have them.
I'm not sure what's going on..
It seems like you started listing people who took other's rights away, but then you threw "eugenicists" in the middle, which make me think you just listed things people dont like to be called?
I 100% understand that you knew exactly what you meant. But literally no one else knows what your thinking bro.
