When someone pointed out that Democrats aren’t leftists and don’t pass actual leftist policies, they smugly replied with “gay marriage”. All they could name was the one good thing Democrats ever did. Libs aren’t serious people.
🤡
The democrats never passed any legislation legalizing gay marriage! The supreme court just did one good thing while Obama was president
Didn’t the Respect for Marriage Act under Biden codify gay marriage? Like the one good thing he did, which libs love to bring up whenever leftists point out how anything else about Biden and Democrats is utter dog shit.
Kinda, but no. It forces states to recognize gay marriages done in other states but does not force states to legalize gay marriages to happen in their own borders. It does cause the federal government to recognize gay marriages as well. I remember it being kind of a mixed bag.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Why did I expect a Democrat to do anything more than the usual throwing of breadcrumbs.
there’s more to it, obviously, but that was the basics.
Gay marriage was won FROM the democrats, not BY the democrats. Sure, they were the ones who finally relented. So what? That makes them slightly less bad than the Republicans in that one instance.
What really bought this home for me is that in Australia it was the NLP under Turnbull who passed marriage equality, our right wing conservative party, after a postal survey (they promised a referendum but they’re fucking cowards and backed down on that) showed something like 70% support and made it clear their position was untenable. They didn’t want to do it. They had multiple MPs walk out of the room and refuse to even be present for the vote iirc. But they were forced to. Same with the democrats. They were talking about how it’s “not the time” right up until it was made abundantly clear they couldn’t hold off any longer. But they didn’t WANT to pass marriage equality. It was forced on them. Won from them. Not won BY them.
there’s something to say for voting for the guys who will cave to you, but they might cave to no-you and in the US liberals go back to brunch when there’s a D in the whitehouse so idk how to square the fact that we can’t build shit unless a republican is in office without advocating accelerationism
Honestly same it’s so frustrating
they’re fucking cowards and backed down on that
And thank fuck for that.
All they could name was the one good thing Democrats ever did. Libs aren’t serious people.
They didn’t even do that on a national level. Supreme Court could overturn the ruling at any time
Exactly, just like they did with abortion which the fucking dems allowed to happen on their watch
Or they used examples of failures presented as accomplishments.
Biden set records at student loan forgiveness!
only because he actually followed the laws on the books that hadn’t before, AND gave up immediately once supreme court said you can’t actually forgive it
Biden also sponsored the legislation which banned declaring bankruptcy over student loan debt. Maybe following those laws to the minimum extent helps him sleep at night, but he’s still a ghoulish servant of capital first and foremost.
and I’d do it again Jack
2028 DNC Big Tent Strategy:
Do Not Let Anyone Except Uncritical Loyalists Into The Tent
Democrats 2028
“Are we cool yet, daddy GOP?”
This time the big tent has two San Francisco neo liberals at the head.
Its a big tent and you aint in it.
wait why didn’t you vote for x???
I’ve seen a rise in what I would all “West-Wing Tankies”, where you have these Libbed up dorks who are pro Gulaging MAGA and doing reconstruction in the Bible Belt for the goal of returning to the Halcyon days of… the Obama presidency.
They are pro-Gulaging MAGA, but will NEVER go against the will of the Parliamentarian
pro-Gulaging MAGA
they claim this, but once even a micron of useable legal power and authority is detected within 50 miles, they will write screeds to explain how doing anything is simply not possible
Unless they are the Liberal Driller
A lot of liberals still think the presidency happened the way he promised it would, not the way that it actually did.
Just call them what they really are: BLUE MAGA.
They want to “Make America Great Again”. They believe like the chud MAGA that America was once great (we disagree) and that it can be again but that it requires strict, harsh measures against the opposition and sweeping changes. They both believe in the same lie, it’s just painted in different colors.
Calling them tankies is inappropriate because they’re not like us at all. They are exactly a mirror reflection of Trump’s MAGA without being tied to any one person’s personality cult but instead to the cult of the Democratic party and whatever figureheads it elevates.
Dronies. Neolibs. They’ve been around.
Lmao they’re definitely too much of a coward to put the “Israeli” flag in their bio.
Having a leftist position is inherently privileged and egoistical. Since it doesn’t affect their lives, they value their own opinions more than making real change
The pink-capitalist ouroboros has at last fully devoured itself.
this person is a moderator of an explicitly racist twitter group called “the Dazbollah Brigades”, created in service of notable paedophile right-wing streamer Destiny and effectively operated by Destiny orbiter and business partner to Diddy, Dan Saltman.
“wild” (no extremely sad) how often it’s the case where it is someone tied to destiny or massive fan of destiny
Mmm, I was surprised by the comments. Maybe we aren’t completely cooked yet, chat.

(if I copied correctly link) they are getting roasted ❤️
They are but one glaring issue; theres still no opposition party building that is a clear future leader in the space 💀
Well yeah, anyone who tries also gets crucified
The Libs in my country also legalized weed, which is good. I’m not gay and I don’t smoke weed, but still good. But really, having a socially leftist policy that is basically just being a decent human does not a leftist make.
I fucking hate liberals
Like they arent even trying. Just immediately rolling over. We havent even had a primary yet
Was Biden even for gay marriage? He definitely wasn’t in the 90s. He could have enforced it in a bill, but like abortion which he was VERY against, didn’t
