    The vile tactics of the Democrats to leverage human rights as a means of retaining the queer/allies vote/support after the mid terms is so brazen but libs will defend this sort of exploitation of queer struggle till they’re red in the face and it makes me want to break things 😤

        Literally.

        Forcing people to support them by leveraging their human rights. Fucking scum.

      This is one of the cool points in that book, “the democrats” by Lance Selfa. Part of the point of being an opposition party in a bourgeois “democracy”, is to never actually succeed at what you promise, because then you lose your entire reason for existing.

      Womens rights will always treated like a cat playing with dangling string.

        On top of that if a mildly radical party comes to power, the only objective of the opposition then becomes to oppose any progress.

        Another wedge issue for the Democrats “we need more votes” tactics folder.

        I need to give this book a read clearly.

      The timing is pure irony. “Authoritarian” Cuba passes sweeping changes while the “Democratic” US continues to delay until the eventual watered-down bill that in essence changes absolutely nothing.
