    Neither party voted to legalize gay marriage. The Supreme Court decided, because Republicans are bigots and Democrats are ineffective cowards.

    What have Democrats done about the increase in violence toward LGBTQ people? What have they done about anti-trans legislation or book bans? What did they do with the majority we gave them last session? They didn’t codify Roe, and we lost that. They didn’t codify Obergefell either.

    One bus is barreling toward the bottom of the hill. The other is coasting backwards in the same direction.

    one bus is already calling to cleanse me and quite a few of my friends off the face of the planet because of who we love and what some of us identify as

    My friends as well. Which is why I’m not going to give the Democratic Party a participation trophy on this. I see an existential threat towards people I care about, and no urgency whatsoever from the only party that is in a position to even try to stop that threat.

    I’ll accept the analogy once their bus is no longer in neutral.

      Not a damn thing, they talk big like they are allies, but leave us to defend ourselves and treat us like they are doing us a favor.
