I don’t forget that the party was against gay marriage until very late into the 1990s when it was getting more driving force from the younger voters they wanted to cater to. I remember Al Gore listening to his wife to try and censor music because she found it offensive in the 1980s. They pivoted toward supporting the civil rights act only after outcry over it reached a fever pitch. You have to drag them kicking and screaming to care about people not them or accept change at all. I’m done with being their whipping boy and being forced to tow the line by trying to make me out to be the villain.

I don’t forget that the legislators we elected kicked it to the courts to do their jobs for them and then refused to codify Obergefell.
Same with Roe vs. Wade. Instead of making it a law that’s harder to remove, they just let the SCOTUS say something that we see now can be easily rescinded. But apparently it’s too “hard” to pass laws once you have a trifecta. They can only seem to work on one decent then a year then eff off the rest.
When they recognize a marginalized group their material conditions never change. Democrats claim to support the trans community and being able to use the bathroom of choice, but don’t care you are living in the streets whole making those decisions. They claim to support the black community whole building up oppressive police forces and helping build cop cities across the country, with cops being trained by the IDF, the same IDF currently slaughtering Palestinians. They supported MLK and civil rights that hated MLK after the bill was signed.
This is who’s they’ve always been.
The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

I used to think you could argue on good terms with Dems, that has become painfully apparent to be wrong over 10 years ago now.
Having been raised socialist that’s been my entire experience.
Wish I could say the same, it’s been a long winding road.
