Trans people and LGBTQ magazines aren't drumming up "illegitimate outrage" for Democratic complicity in passing anti-trans legislation. They had veto power in both the Senate and the White House and let it sail right through because it was easier for them.

And I've definitely edited out the personal attacks for posting such an offensive comment. But you certainly goddamned deserve them.

Oh fuck the cope is so strong here. How do you clean the shit off your nose after licking so much fascist ass?

This whole thread is fucking disappointing. Yes it's super shitty that tricare isn't going to cover trans kids. We just had a budget showdown where Elon fucking Musk tried to tank the entire nation. Biden signed this shit and said he hated that he had to do it because it excluded trans kids.

I'm no Biden fan but holy shit get your course corrected and get ready friends because this ain't shit compared to what's to come.

I don't like Biden at all but this one is finicky.

You may not like to hear it but but placing limits on funding for it they make it harder for the next administration to act against them since most political power is in the purse. No dei? No dei firings. No "misappropriation" of health funding, no health funding cuts or firings for having trans kids. Moreover it means if they do transition privately the government would have to create a novel argument to prevent private and or criminalize actions that amount to speech which would be difficult.

I think it's pretty well known that the democrats do not have spines.

If he vetoed the bill over this, Congress probably just wouldn't pass a bill to fund the military! It's must pass! This is our one shot! /s

Sure would be nice if every single citizen of the united states gets to personally bitch slap every member of congress, presidential cabinet, vp, pres, etc... When a completely unrelated thing gets shoved into a bill.

There is 0 reason an (hypothetical) infrastructure bill for new sprinklers in hospitals needs to include a provision that Wisconsin dairy farms get a new milking machine. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. So why are they in the same bill.

If you want it to be a bill, put it in its own separate proposal.

Agreed.

Biden's legcy will be bringing a bit of the Israelis geniocidal hatreds home to rot the core of the US. Enshitifying the western world order and democracy itself with the same pathetic "bipartisanship" centrism and selling out that has defined his entire career and been a plague on all of us. An old white bigot with no relevance, intent on sitting in a chair that was always too big for him. At best he was not Trump. And thats about all he will be remembered for.

Bro... the genocide. All lines have not only been crossed but erased forever as the Democrats ratchet the USA to the right.

I mean, they've already signed off on wholesale genocide, it's pretty clear they have no lines left to cross.

I despised him before it was cool. So yay me I suppose.

Which party is that again? Because I can't think of a political party that is working to remove landlords, empower worker's unions, and break up massive corporations.

"the only legitimate party" my arse. You still act like you are deciding if the youth and progressives have a spot on the floor next to the mighty democratic party table in case you want to throw us some scraps when actually you cant win any election without us, and have no power at all -- at any level of government. You now also have a terrible reputation for being genociders, corrupt, our of touch with the working class, and lacking any sense of strategy. And lacking any dignity either. Even when trump drums up his own resistence against him (because god knows you're not up to that task) you still cant win without your left flank. You arent even aware of what your numbers are. Pathetic.

So shut it. You centrists have gotten enough attention and you've done nothing with the opportunities you've been given, besides consistenly blowing it. You wont be in the drivers seat for a long time, and I think the general population is sick of losing because of your incompetence and unprincipled shenanigans.
