E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

    The left is not

    Neo-libs may not be, but there are plenty of us who are adamant that the workers shall not be disarmed.

    Ignoring that…

    The gop is unintionally better for lgbtq than the dnc

    Only one is actively imposing legislation that oppresses the lgptq community. If you honestly believe that, I beg you to take an actual hard, honest look at the legislation the GOP has passed in the last 6 years. You’ll find that’s just simply not true. Lying to others is one thing, but don’t lie to yourself.

    Are there individuals within the GOP who don’t support those things? Perhaps, but they’re clearly at least not opposed to them. Unfortunately the “old guard” have decided they’d rather let the complete and utter batshit insane corner of the party drive the platform. It’s time to realize that.

      Yeah, I probably should’ve said gop and dnc, and adjusted the wording slightly.

      I would argue that any right is meaningless without 2a to back it up. Thus, any rights given by the DNC aren’t real. They aren’t worth the paper it’s written on.

        And while in most scenarios I’d agree, we’re not talking hypothetical scenarios anymore. The GOP doesn’t care about you or your rights. They made that clear when a group of them attempted a coup, and the whole did absolutely nothing to condemn it. All over losing a single presidential election. Anything promised by a group that tried to throw our entire republic away isn’t worth shit either.

        That is a far more pressing concern. Far more. Especially when any anti-2a legislation is not going to come close to surviving with this current SCOTUS.
