Just what the world needs. Attacks on the left wing to help justify Republicans again...
It's bullshit posts like this which is why Trump won the last election.
Left wingers made such a huge deal about a single issue, that they didn't vote, and allowed a convicted sex offender to win, who has LITERALLY now personally authorised direct war crimes
There's a billion fucking reasons to vote for Dems regardless. I'm in Australia, but visited America recently, and I realised, many American's don't even realise half of the shit thats happening caused by Trump in and outside their country.
Trump is attacking Trans people on a daily basis, whereas, democrats aren't. There is a huge difference, even for trans people. The idea that every single person in the party, needs to support EVERY single request by select communities to approve of them is crazy.
Its one reason also why compulsory voting (and preferential voting) works so well here in Australia. Because it forces people to pick the BEST candidate and it also allows them to pick the one they want (because, your preferences get prioritised)
right around election season
odd timing <.<
Absolutely.
It's like writing articles "Hitlers opposition sucks because they blocked the building of 3 synagogues. Never mind the other 150 they approved, its those 3 that are important..
Oh, but they're still better than the others, so vote for them, but complain about it until the election, which totally won't discourage them in a country where voting isn't mandatory
Also, just remember, the personal opinion of 2 senators is what matters.
