95 House Democratic Traitors, more like.
The one who is Trans Rep is the one that tugs me the most here. You now have a motivated group after this assassination, who is now branding your group as 'terrorist' and assuming now transgenders are mass-shooters. Yet you're voting to honor the legacy?
I don't understand this stance about what integrity and honor that there is, to co-exist with bigoted people like that, who work against your interests. Do you think this is going to alleviate things? No, it won't. They'll be calling for your head next, McBride, hope you feel dumb about this.
they work for the continuation of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
the only reason to be outraged by this is if you believe the ridiculous kayfabe that the democrats and republicans have opposing interests
Eh. Maybe she’s just trying to keep the peace. From what I understand she’s had some success in keeping anti trans legislation at bay in her jurisdiction. It could be she feels that making a stink over Charlie now would make things worse.
Not that I agree, it just must be tough being an openly trans public figure. Right hates her no matter what, left expects perfection since she’s so visible. Hard to criticize her over this
Appeasing your oppressors doesn't make you a hero
Do we have any heroes in American politics at the moment?
No, because the definition of a hero involves not being part of the cynical political class.
Heroes must emerge from the working class
This ain't no place for no hero
No, but it could keep her fighting for her constituents and their rights a little longer. They might just be being careful with what battles they pick. We all know trump would have ordered a national day of honor even if it didn't get a single vote.
having morals and principles does though. something lemmy could not ever understand in any sort of capacity
Nevile Chamberlain ass.
