The Pronoun that Matters is "We" ^_^

There's a new golden and waxy mornin'. Good times a-comin'. You've got your warning. There's cheap healthcare, the workcamp's there. The general tone is laissez-faire. I'm a princess, I'm a princess. I'm a priiiinceeeess.
Don’t blame me…
This is probably in reference to a Trump campaign ad. Trump had a campaign ad that said "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you". Democrats think that it was a great ad. Gavin Newsom said it was a great ad. Democrats response to the ad is throwing trans people under the bus.
A good response to an anti-trans ad would be "stop blaming everything on transgender people". Then actually having policies that benefit people.
the mythology has become that this ad in particular was one of the main reasons Harris lost. It seems like Democrats liked the ad more than any hypothetical republican voters because I don't remember the chuds talking much about it.
Depending on which polling you read it was either the most impactful poll of the last election cycle (so says a Dem super PAC) or negligible on changing voting preferences but still negatively impacted acceptance of trans people (so says GLAAD).
Of course both those sponsoring organizations have their own vested interests in reaching those conclusions
When you put it in context, what she's saying here isn't really that bad. It's as good of a response as you can write while still making the mistake of engaging in the terms and framing your enemy imposed on you.
I guessed this was in response to something and context doesn't really improve it. Her campaign was neither trans-inclusive nor aimed for prosperity for all, even in the bounds of a limited liberal democracy.
There's something to be said about being put into boxes by opponents, but really it's we (the most important pronoun) Communists who have to deal with that, not someone with a billion dollar media campaign behind them. (not that important of a pronoun, apparently)
It's honestly just too corny to float in 2025. Maybe if she had a history of being genuine it would work, but... well...
That would require them having any sort of values, and the only ones they even pretend to hold are the ones they're paid to endorse
im sorry
We are gonna watch you get rounded up, sweetie.
The US and it's thought terminating catch phrases...
Talking to libs is like trying to figure out which marvel slop they saw this week
I hope the ghostwriter who came up with that dreams of gnashing teeth and nothing else
i mean that could work, like oh i dunno medicare for all type way. Just a shame the dems have less than 0 reliability rating. The election was like 5 seconds away and they were moving to drop "the trans issue" like a hot coal, feckless cowards.
Medicare for We, but it's the royal We
We can't believe we said something so stupid. We feel like we took psychic damage from our remark, and if anyone else were to read it, we would too. We really hope not to have to read anything by us again soon.
Not to make excuses for this TERF, but I can sorta see how this might radicalize someone.
It’s 2025. If you’re still putting Mr. or Mrs. in your email you’re woke.
Yeah sure it’s fine whatever. I don’t want to hear what she actually thinks about trans people anyway
Jesse Singal does need to be institutionalized, but not because of this
im gonna puke
To be fair, I have met at least one communist who goes by plural pronouns and "comrade" in place of gendered terms, which is wacky AF but also even more confusing in English than it needs to be. So yeah, plural pronouns as the ones that matter is a good leftist joke, kinda.
So she's going the "All lives matter" route? It's really interesting how apparently all of the political pipelines produce the most out of touch individuals who are suppose to be representing the populace. Almost like it's a necessity or design 🤔
You pressed “you” referring to “me.” The correct answer was “you.”
Granted, "Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you" was a fairly devastating campaign against her. I'm surprised she's still reeling about it though.
This looks really close, actually. If it was an apology like
"I spent so much energy concerned about they/them that I forgot that you are a part of we (who need to get healthcare)"
Then we'd be talking
