  • I would argue that they aren’t more conservative, they are in a bad place and looking for someone with answers. The Democrats have essentially preached status quo for the last decade. Many working class voters look at where they are and look at the party looking to keep things the same, and they either vote for the other party or don’t vote at all.

    If someone was to offer non-fascist solutions to the problems most of the working class are having, I suspect we would be talking about how the working class has swung left.

    I am not saying conservatives are the right choice for the working class by any means, but the perception by many is that they are looking to break the status quo in a world where most people feel like they are worse off than they could be.



  • Those are the only options? We can’t have non transphobic people in primaries? We can’t hold them to a hire standard? If we are at the point where these are our only options, we are already cooked.

    Hold them to a higher standard and they will be forced to it. Giving in and staying well, I’d rather vote for a transphobe than a MAGA allows them to stay transphobic.

    This is the whole problem, we’ve been convinced we need to vote for harm reduction and only harm reduction, and even the Democrats are sliding further right.

    Do better. Don’t accept a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with mayonnaise.
