possibly stupid question but couldn’t the democrats just like lie about their campaign promises. like just say oh we’ll give kids free lunches we’ll give everyone healthcare and then quietly tell their donors it’s all horseshit so they don’t lose any money from Big Child Lunch Debt. like can’t you just lie. it feels like there is 0 cost to doing this once you get in power aside from people being mad at you when they don’t get what you promised, which seems to happen all the time anyway, and is marginally more inspiring than “nothing will fundamentally change.” like am i missing something obvious or is “addicted to losing” the actual explanation

What’s especially funny is that this is pretty much exactly what Obama did in 2008 and it worked. He successfully did an ideological rugpull on exactly those terms and very few people in the US even cared that he didn’t follow through on his promises

sometimes i see the way people on this site talk about "binary trans women" and think, damn, if i didnt know any better i'd say some of you see womanhood as inherently reductive, the desire to live and be seen as a woman as irrational, and women as ignorant people who need things explained to them! but youre such a knowledgable and wise radical genderfuck, so surely you know better than me :)

i need to learn history (as presented by a transmasc lesbian with connections to the historical terf movement)

The most obvious indicator that it’s just a way to repackage existing misogyny is that I’ve never seen someone say “binary trans men.” It just now has the added sleight of hand of tacking on a signifier of privilege to dismiss any feminism that makes them uncomfortable, the same way they try invoking whiteness against anyone espousing transfeminism (plenty of whom are, notably, not white!)

so i went to check the actual numbers to compare how popular these terms actually are and it turns out the "binary trans man" literally DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL. i wasn't expecting it to be so blatant but google can't even compare them because binary trans men apparently simply don't exist

it is insane that no one cares about history. like the common language of reality. no one cares about that. and I know historical fact is contested blah blah blah I’m not making a claim about how to read history or what to count as history I mean as a baseline people are disinterested in history as like a foundation of their own knowledge. the beliefs in their head are not tethered by history. and this is not a problem for them. and I know this because citing history does not persuade people, it’s not a site of revelation. and you’re called insane for bringing it up

every liberal history major reblogging this I’m also talking about you. your beliefs come from the grand tradition of a total disengagement with history

sorry man im all booked

"i'm gay" "i'm straight" okay????? i get mean when i'm nervous like a bad dog??????

everyone in the world is either a democrat or a republican. everyone in the whole wide world is a democrat and a republican and america is the largest and most populous country in the world and america is easily the most culturally diverse country in the world because the middle class white people in my state (like a little country) are very different than the middle class white people over there (another little country, once more called a "state") and you could never understand how bad it is in america, the main country in the world. where are you from again? it's bad in america and america is bad but the way that america is run is the only way a country could possibly be run unfortunately. i don't like it but it's the only right way for a country to be run and you don't get it because the main victims of the main country are all here and you aren't. where are you from again? they never told me about that place. i don't think you get that real people live in america. probably because you're a republican. real people live in america and real people are hurt by america but what can you do? god said america has to be like this. god said this because god is real so god is american. you don't get it because you're over there and we're all here in america, the realest country in the world. where are you from again? how can you talk like this with what's happening in america? you're a democrat, right? where are you from again? my country is so large it stretches over yours and presses down hard. it's not my fault that they never told me about that place. my country covers the world. you don't understand how bad this will be for real people in the real world, the first world, the only world. they never told me—where in america are you from again?
