Democrats only care about the marginalized as far as it keeps them in power. They say idle while Republicans passed over 500 anti trans laws across the country. They talk a big game while they throw the game to Republicans
Having spent a decade as a volunteer and then paid Dem campaign staffer and heard the way the people you’ve never heard of who actually control the levers of power inside the party apparatus talk about trans people, BLM, and anything at all that might fuck up their Wall St gravy train, I can assure you that “most of the Democratic Party” is absolutely not better than this, and the few who are will never be given any power to act against the ones who aren’t.

Most of the Democratic party is a lot better than this, but we do need to do a much better job of kicking shitheads out
And every time that idea forms, people parade the ‘we gotta take/hold the majority this next election, simmer down about those shitheads.’
