The hostility to this obviously true statement proves my point. We’ve lost interest in public policy with broad appeal, like Medicare for All and universal childcare, and instead are focusing disproportionately on narrower and narrower identity issues. I have zero issues with gender neutral bathrooms. I have a BIG issue with a progressive movement uninterested in winning political power. How the hell do you people think we get policy passed that’s beneficial to nonbinary people? Tweets? Wishes? Prayers? No, we obviously focus on issues that people will support and garner political power. One of the reasons the progressive movement went so far off course is there’s no corrective mechanism. We’re so focused on the purity testing, no one can talk about strategy. If you like the lukewarm, corporate-friendly Democratic Party - stay this course. Everything we’re doing is making sure they win it all and we win nothing. We’re going to be a historical footnote of another failed political movement in the United States. https://bird.makeup/@briannawu/1789688783866126807
