They never really could. The Democratic party likes to claim issues like same sex marriage and trans rights as if they had anything to do with it. Same sex marriage had to be fought for in the courts during a democrat reign. They used trans rights as a big talking point for 2024 yet made little attempt to safeguard them during the previous 4 years. They ignore their base then take credit for all their accomplishments. They now use lgbt issues as an anchor to avoid promising any meaningful changes. It's the same thing the Republicans have been doing with abortion. All I'm saying is, Bernie2028.

Bernie is finally too old. Nobody is coming to save you.

It's gotta be Alexandria Cortez. Bernie is just too old sadly. He's healthy and fitter than the other candidates who are younger than him, but he'll never win now. Our chance was 2016 and he got ratfucked.
