    This doesn’t seem to mirror my experiences, is the DNC actually pushing a position of not worrying about the situation? Or is this in relation to lack of newsworthy action from a lot of the party heads? /gen

      As a trans person that has been begging anyone to intervene in my state for the past 4 years - being told over and over again that the shit that was happening was not happening… yeah.

      Kinda like how Nex Benedict was murdered and no one cared. A trans woman in Grove disappeared a few years ago and her body just turned up - cops probably did it but no one will ever look into it.

      It’s been happening here ALREADY. I’ve been SCREAMING about it for years and no one’s listened. Now the fascists are at everyone’s door.

      Cops in Oklahoma routinely slaughter people. The feds have been trying to shut down OKC County jail for years because people die. They’ll often kick them out right before they are about to die so it doesn’t draw attention. Multiple deaths in Cleveland County jail too.

        “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.” - also Schumer, immediately after saying that.

      Biden had immunity to do literally anything to prevent the rise of fascism. What he did: nothing.
