Your comment provides no productive insight or refutation of anything I mentioned. You look like a fool by creating a straw man of my position.
Democrats aren’t losing, they’ve over performed in just about every election since 2020. The party has grown more left wing in recent years but obviously work still needs to be done. Virtually every progressive in government will endorse Biden for reelection. There was no significant primary challenge against him.
If you don’t vote you aren’t participating in an election where you can influence the outcome. In reality the statement you make by sitting out is that you don’t care what happens.
There are valid criticisms you could make of Biden especially over how he has handled the Gaza war. But pretending that you’re enlightened by not voting and effectively helping Trump is not an effective strategy in the long term.
Because he did not have the best campaign staff and the Democratic party establishment preferred other candidates. His base was mostly young white people or college students who don’t turn out to vote enough.
No one switched places. The US was really racist, misogynist, and homophobic in 1945. In recent years Germany has become more liberal and accepting than the US.

what’s funimation? I have aniwave
I don’t think a healthcare clinic is an appropriate place to try coming up with secret code phrases that not everyone knows and could be misunderstood.
I would feel safe if my nurse had a pride pin, or maybe stated her pronouns when introducing herself.
That’s not really how it works. It would only make them look stupid if they did that, and increase the risk of being voted out in the next election. Because of the filibuster, legislation generally needs 60 votes in the Senate before it goes to the president. Democrats have 51 seats, with two frequent defectors. Imagine if Biden’s record going into 2024 is that he vetoed every single piece of legislation.
Democrats have a slim majority in the senate, which is not enough to get whatever they want done without compromising, especially considering that two senators are not as left wing as the rest of the party.
As far as war and military spending goes, I agree that the party could do better.
Yes, you can do it online. I am sorry to hear about your situation
The closest thing to that would be to come out to a few trusted friends and ask that they refer to you with feminine pronouns or a new name, and see if you like it or not. You could explain that you want to try out these pronouns or name for a little while and see if they make sense for you.
If you don’t feel trans because you are worried that you are not feminine enough, remember that women can sometimes be masculine, and that you do not have to force yourself to fit into traditional gender roles, even as a trans person.
I never cross dressed before accepting my trans identity either. And my private part does not make me uncomfortable. These are not requirements for being trans. As far as the rest of your post goes, I would not say your experience is “very different,” in fact it seems very similar to my own and other trans women who I know.
He appointed three SCOTUS justices who proceeded to overturn Roe v Wade. Trump is responsible for abortion being illegal in more than a dozen states. But because he’s not focusing on it in his 2024 campaign the media will somehow say he’s “vague” on the issue. If Trump is elected you can certainly thank The New York Times for downplaying his threat to women’s rights.
As a trans person, I feel far safer on Lemmy and mastodon than I ever did on any other social media.
There hasn’t been an election in Gaza since 2007, 16 years ago. Maybe they could have at least tried to have some sort of democratic process in that time? Palestine needs to appeal to the international community for support in negotiating with Israel. I agree Israel has not handled the situation humanley and has not done their best to negotiate peace either. However, Gaza is definitely not going to get anywhere under their current leadership, and this war had no chance of success for them, and their situation does not justify attacking or kidnapping civilians.
What would you do in such a situation
Probably not kidnap and kill civilians from the other side, and not use civilians on my own side of the line as human shields when the other side retaliates, and not murder civilians on my own side of the line to prevent them from escaping, all of which would end up making the whole situation for the people on my own side so much more miserable and violent.
The options are probably to have free and fair elections while conducting peace negotiations with the support of the international community. All of which have been thrown out of the window now in favor of another violent war that will certainly be lost.
The oppressions of Palestinians is horrible and it is Israel’s responsibility to rectify that. However, it does not give justification for Hamas to attack civilians. Hamas must have known what would happen but they went forward with the attack anyways.
