Bigots and Nazis arent Elementary School Bullies. These far-right lunatics are driven by a want to eradicate a minority from society, not a want for attention. You can’t just choose to not give racists attention hoping that they will become less racist.
Ignore them, give them what they want and they will ask you for more. They will gladly compromise with you… before immediately moving the goalposts.
There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership
Pathetic, and frankly her going along with it is not much better.
Just disappointed
Completely agree the silence of most House Democrats is shameful, but as for McBride, she isn’t giving them the reaction they wanted. This was intended to target her specifically and create a situation where they could point at her response and go “see, the radical transgender has infiltrated government and now he’s trying to invade the women’s restroom!!1!!!1!!11” Using her response to pivot to economic issues and call them out for trying to distract from the same takes some of the wind out of their sails. It would be different if this legislation wasn’t so blatantly targeted.
They’ll still try, but it will be harder for them to play the victim here.
The right to exist is worth fighting over and people should be pissed at her for surrendering on our behalf. Access to bathrooms is fucking important and her statement even manages to make that sound trivial.
All the 4d chess political maneuvers are a poor excuse, I remain disappointed.
You’re right of course, but there’s a certain segment of the party that’s addicted to Losing With Dignity, and is afraid to fight for anything. They’ll go as far as to coach you on how brilliant it is to willingly give up your rights and retreat from public existence.
Conversely, taking a stance on that single issue would rule her out of doing any other aspect of her job. You’re right, it’s important, but more can be achieved by going along with it. If anything, these transphobic fucks might get a reality check when they realise they’re sharing a bathroom with a fucking woman.
Pathetic, and frankly her going along with it is not much better.
Agreed, but she is a politician, and that’s what politicians often do.
If the Dems ever regain majorities in the House and Senate, they should introduce bill(s) to install these in the Capitol:
I hate this. It’s fucking deplorable. Let her pee wherever she feels comfortable peeing.
I hate this. It’s fucking deplorable. Let her pee wherever she feels comfortable peeing.
Piss in the speakers chair.
I mean he’s as valuable as an outhouse. So pissing all over Mike is a proper gender neutral bathroom
The republicans aren’t going to stop there. They going to start more uneccessary drama.
