You Americans cannot abide allies or any other type of leftists, no wonder the right ate your lunch and continues to do so. You guys hate everyone. The American left has become so toxic and self isolated

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, who says a leftist can't be on the hard right.

Problem is that anyone even slightly right of you, and you call them hard right. Shit you’ll even call people to the left of you “hard right” just for disagreeing with you on a small issue. No true leftists in the u.s. literally nobody is left enough to anyone else on the left

They're just expressing an opinion. No, need to villainize the entire left. We will waste more energy trying to rationalize politics with trans people then just letting them do their thing. Newsom is not a friend of the Trans community. Frankly, I know all too well from growing up, they dont have many allies. Its really sad too. I want to be there for them but if they won't be there for me, now, when we need to pull the reigns in there's nothing I can do to converge our two realities.

No one is going to rule the ashes. No one seems to want to plan the revolution. No one seems to understand that divided we fall.

I want trans people to have fulfilling lives. Is what we have now acceptable to trans people? Will the GOP get you there? Will societies clapse make a difference?

These arent questions for me to answer. So, what is it? Whats the grand plan? Does it seem rational that the trans community will lead the democrats policy when that policy is in place to win elections? Has the ground work been laid to make this possible?

Will you even hear me out?

When your beleifs differ too much from mine then we can't be allies, because those beleifs contradict.

If you can only be allies with people who think the same as you... Kinda sounds like what the Nazis believed dunnit.

Now I certainly don't think you're a Nazi or a fascist. But I also think you don't actually believe what you just wrote.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh you don't want to ally yourself with someone who thinks trans people deserve to be murdered? You're just like a Nazi. I'm very intelligent.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that hyperbole. I dont think Newsom has taken the stance trans people should be murdered. Ill check but the question going forward is how do I let everyone know youre not a serious person? Ill do some thinking about it but way to discredit yourself.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You could try comparing me to a Nazi again, that'll show me.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didnt. I argued we should let you guys do your thing. Except your thing is kinda unhinged.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe compare me to a nazi again

It was really compelling the first time

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Uhhhh. Are you just like telling on yourself for being a troll?

I have respect for well-intentioned liberals, moderates and even some conservatives.

Newsom is not that. He is a selfish ball of sleeze who does whatever he thinks will benefit him most in any given moment. He’s not much better than Trump.

Oh poor baby, did your mom tell you that? ... Username checks out.

You’re only proving my point on how toxic the American left became
