Dems have made it abundantly clear they are willing to move further right than a centimeter to the left. Also my American compatriots see socially left and assume economically left when that’s just not the case. Socially left is great, until everyone is homeless, hungry and sick, equally.
Not to mention that even the “socially left” is highly questionable. When I see a leader who’s willing to throw other marginalized groups such as Palestinians, refugees, and BIPOC under the bus, I have no doubt he’d have us LGBTQIA+ people lined up and executed if he thought it would help him win elections. Establishment Democrats are not allies, no matter how many rainbows they project on the White House.
This is a great point. I’ve said you’re either human rights or rights for me and mine, not thee and thine." If you’re pro black but not pro women, pro women but not pro lgbtqia, etc.

Yep, this is how I see it too. Solidarity. If we don’t stand up for each other, then we all fall.
