I am completely wrong and yet completely vindicated by your response.

People didn't care enough to show up to stop forced births, you think they care about puberty blockers? Doubt.
That's like splitting hairs over whether a abortion is banned in Texas, cuz technically it is allowed under very narrow circumstances that no hospital is willing to try.
I got the same vibe but it seems the ambiguity was a large enough liability.
I voted for Harris but if "you guys" were really responsible for loosing then we should have given "them" more representation. But hey, at least this way we don't have to blame Zionists, transphobies, xenophobes, or misogynists. Right?
Maybe, but it involves paying more for teachers.
When I say unhealthy I am not talking about you individually but the impact on the outcome of the discourse. This particular moment isn't about proving who was right, though there is plenty of other places where that is needed, it is about integrating what we know so we can coalesce.
I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.
If that is not nihilism, then it is unhealthy discourse.
Hey pal, nihilism is a valid response but please find a healthier space for it.
Yeah, with those margins fine tuning Biden or Harris's policy proposals would not have been enough. Which I think is Bernie's point: we need something like Medicare for all or a detailed Gaza peace plan to excite the base and the non-xenophobic voters
When they say it's about race, it's about class. When they say it is about class, it's about gender. And when they say it's out gender, it's about race.
Or at least that's how it feels sometimes.
