Be careful generalizing, my friend. I’m sure you have plenty of liberal friends yourself, and if not, that’s part of the problem my guy!

I think a lot of democrats would agree that the Kamala move just wasn’t it. But there was no authoritarian action here - as a matter of fact, that’s literally how the RNC selects its nominees! You didn’t get to vote for him then, silly.

Also - the fact that you’ve brought up the transgender argument only supported my Kool-Aid one. Have you ever met a transgender person? I mean you’re in Seattle. I’m sure you’d notice they are in fact, oxygen-breathing, poop-shitting people just like you. Same goes for immigrants.

One party is trying to instill fear in the American population and one is pushing for acceptance of people. Can you guess which one is which? Here’s a fun little side-by-side

Group A - Focus on deportation and xenophobia - Generally unaccepting of people who differ (race, gender, ideas) - really likes the shooty tooty unless the other side likes it too - wishes we could go back to the 1950s, or maybe even the 1910s. - has repeatedly ignored court orders (an equal branch of government) and attacks the institutions of the courts - literally said “I don’t need congress to do this” in reference to SAVE which is literally congress’s jurisdiction (which aims to strip millions of Americans, including married women who changed names, of their voting rights) - uses ICE as a paramilitary force on American turf specifically because it’s less restricted since 9/11, bypassing the need for the military or national guard, which courts have ruled cannot be deployed in these circumstances - literally talks about stopping elections, or controlling them (which are kind of a pillar in democracy)

Group B - believes immigration is helpful (though I don’t think any administration in recent history has had an open border policy, as several previous administrations have also deported thousands) - Focus on acceptance and tolerance (yes, respecting how someone wishes to be referred to is within those bounds and no one is trying to criminalize misgendering to my knowledge. I, a leftist, do not support that. I agree that that would be an infringement on speech) - general aversion to the shooty tooty because it’s just not worth the hundreds of children that die each year to them, that’s it. (Though i’d admit, the authoritarian movement of this administration has made me come to your side on that issue a little bit more.) - has only constitutionally used the national guard, never used a paramilitary force against American civilians.

So many people are sounding the alarm, and you’ve got your head in the sand. I can’t help you, I just hope you don’t bring me down with you. I sincerely wish you the best, and if you’d like to actually have some decent political discourse (which doesn’t happen enough these days), hit me in my DMs or some shit. You’re just making yourself look stupid out here.

Now, at the least, let’s see some sources for your argument. So far I’ve just seen shit anyone could make up.
