Women — of the “no Y chromosome” variety, just to be clear — deserve far better representation than either the GOP or Dems have provided.
The GOP are a lost cause; let’s hope the Dems are not, otherwise my American friends will continue to have governments that further perpetuate the injustices being both done & attributed to those women.
I agree, though I’d argue the Dems are no less of a lost cause than the GOP. At least the GOP platform never claimed men could become women or that women should surrender their spaces to failed men. That kind of betrayal cuts through all the noise.
I hear you, and as a man I can’t claim to speak for how that betrayal hurts: it pains *me* tremendously, and it spurs me to further work on holding my fellow men accountable & trying to change hearts & minds wrt all forms of violence against women & girls & children more broadly (and I consider such colonization & appropriation *on its own* as violence, as do I see the infliction of unevidenced medical experimentation on children).🤬
We have a similar issue here in 🇨🇦, regrettably: all our “progressive” parties (including our otherwise intelligent & compassionate PM Carney) remain beholden to the same pinnacle of regressive beliefs, but our Conservatives hold most of the same regressive policies towards women, the poor, immigrants, and the economy as your GOP do.🤮
So women & children here (& those who support them) are stuck between a similar rock & hard place: neither side will protect them, but at least the progressive side doesn’t want to *actively* kill them. 🤷♂️
And I believe that at *some* point (as we see with national Labour in the UK post For Women Scotland’s Supreme Court victory), the progressives can no longer ignore what they’ve done: yet the Cons will continue to be the same scumbags.
So we fight, and we yell, and we make damned sure that none of the “good guys” (& gals) will have the luxury of saying that they didn’t know when Truth & Reconciliation finally happens ✊
Thank you 🙏

where is CA? I am guessing that is not California but somewhere in the uk?
Canada — weird the emoji didn’t come through for you 🤷♂️
Although from what I understand it’s true for California too.
