Politicans are a tool not your friend
Expressing anger at the position you and your community have been put in, and making very reasonable critiques of its political efficacy, all while emphasizing that *Texans should absolutely vote for Talarico*, is not being a "wrecker". www.liberalcurrents.com/talarico-d-i...
Talarico (D) Is Just a Letter to Me Now
After folding on trans rights, James Talarico does not have my respect. Honestly, fuck him. And yet, Ken Paxton (R) must lose.

I loathe the idea that it is “reasonable” or “savvy” or “strategic” to renege on the rights of some people when really it’s just wishy-washy bullshit.

Seems bad that the guy who refused to admit he lost the 2020 election and then inspired an angry mob to attack the US Capitol is now agitating for a murder arch overlooking the nation’s capital.

“wait, we helped destroy a lot of people’s meaningful and socially-beneficial careers, in cahoots with Trump 2.0 and DOGE, and now those people have lots of free time to hate on us with? how could this happen?”

Dear Silicon Valley cultists: no, I’m not getting paid by a shadowy they/them cabal to be mean to you.
I’m being mean to you because your sicko culture has helped destroy mainstream international aid funding (which is killing people), usher in Trump 2.0, and pervert technology and innovation.

We’re not getting paid to hate you. We hate you because of your *actions*.
Perhaps someday you’ll realize that assuming everybody not in your circle is a moronic NPC is a key reason you’re in this mess in the first place.

so
1. we should loudly oppose dems "moderating" on trans-rights
2. at present, abstention threats aren't the best way to do that
3. but, hypothetically, if they went full uk labour party that would blow up their coalition regardless of if people like me stayed loyal

I’m all for calling Democrats out. Loudly!
But telling people to withhold their votes in this political environment isn’t accountability. It’s handing power to the people you claim to fear most.
We tried the “let them lose and they’ll learn” strategy before and we got Trump as a result.

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.
