I live in central Florida and I’ve been out protesting quite a bit, a couple political events for democratic candidates, and volunteer for poll duty during elections. One of the least represented demographic in all of these places is young women. There are plenty of retiree women. I’ve even been to a couple women’s rights group meetings and there were more men there than women under 40.

I understand it’s going to take all of us to make any meaningful changes, but I am constantly surprised that one of the most impacted groups doesn’t seem to be too concerned to participate in the civil unrest part. Even the women I talk to in other social settings don’t seem too concerned or feel the need to do anything to halt the real life Handmaid’s Tale we’re about to find ourselves in.

It feels like a very aggressive title for this post.

Fuck rafael “cancun” Cruz! That person should be fired from a cannon into the sun. Maybe not our sun, but a far away sun.

This isn’t even conservatism. It’s regressive. They aren’t conserving anything, just trying to take everyone back to robber barons and Nazis.

They should post this picture at every rural hospital they close.

If only there was a name for a group of employees getting together to ask management for some collective bargaining or something.

I think you mean non secular state, secular means without respect to religion.

Edit: or are you saying the state should not be neutral to religion (definition of secular), but dismiss it entirely?

Behind the Bastards does a great podcast about that. Called “How Conservatism Won”.

It was an incredibly interesting piece about how Think Tanks are behind the shit show you see before us today. A literal playbook shadow written by a future supreme court justice nominated by Tricky Dick Nixon. It was well worth a listen much like most of BtB stuff is.

About as straightforward as DizqueTV

I don’t personally consider someone who is a centerist to be progressive at all. Maybe just me though. She is exactly as progressive as Biden which is why her messaging after Biden announced he was stepping down didn’t involve and real progressive moves other than some minor tax cuts and legalizing cannabis. She lost because she is just the woman version of Joe Biden. Not that she gets much say until she is elected, but she could have come out swinging a lot harder to the left instead of joining up with Liz Cheney who also isn’t known to be that progressive. She is exactly who the DNC wanted running, which is why they didn’t hold an abbreviated Democratic primary for 2024.

She was not progressive at all! I think the person was saying that she lost because she was too progressive as a misconception to why she was one of the first out in 2020.

She wasn’t too progressive for the DNC to put her second on the ticket, a heart attack from a very old man away from being president. That’s exactly why she was on the ticket. I am pretty sure she was one of the least progressive candidates, dropping out before 2020 even started.

I’m not smart enough to know what that means.

She lost the first primary bc she had progressive ideas. The DNC wouldn’t allow that.

Literally from what they said

Yet her being a progressive was not what lost her the 2020 primary, contrary to this person’s original point. You just expounded on my point, thanks. At no point did she lose something because she was too progressive.

You didn’t clarify anything, especially not the incorrect point you were trying to make. I hope you have a more enlightened day.

After you said she lost because she was progressive, and in the same comment where you say there were better progressives, implying if she had been more progressive she would have won.

If not please try explain.

She lost because she was progressive, but at the same time you’re saying she lost because she wasn’t actually progressive enough.

While Bernie certainly didn’t win the primary, I would argue he was slightly more progressive and yet got farther than Harris. Please reconsider your position on that. I don’t think the DNC did her any favors, but they certainly aren’t what kept Harris from winning.

They didn’t run Clinton after she lost to trump, why would they think this is any different? Harris was not picked twice for a reason, the first time in the 2020 democratic primary and the second time after the last election. PLEASE move on to someone who hasn’t lost yet for a real change and a real hope to win.

This is the way.
