Basically, this was one bad pill in a much larger "must pass" piece of legislation. The Dems squashed other bad pills (including the one that works have stripped service members themselves from gender-affirming care) but you can't always get everything you want in negotiation, especially when your party is losing power and you've got vulnerable districts in midterms.
Amusingly, Mike Rogers (R-AL) was upset by the ban because it made the NDAA harder to pass and Trump apparently could have mandated the same ban once he takes office. E.g., this was coming anyways. And a lot worse is coming.
Sounds like the same mealy mouthed excuse as always
If they're losing so much power why do the ancient decrepit ghouls in party leadership still cling to power so damn much? Why does losing never cost the overpaid consultants their jobs? Why does losing the elections never cost the part leadership their power within the party?
Cool apologia for signing transphobic legislation you spineless piece of shit.
I suppose that's what I get for casting a bit of neutral political commentary into a pit of blind rage. If this is how you treat your allies, why would anyone want to be one?
You are no ally of ours and that's why you keep getting banned for being an annoying spammy creepy little shit.
I think you have me confused with someone else. Maybe chill a bit? And best of luck to you in your endeavors in the new year.
Oh you are correct but I mixed up two comments because you sound so much like the other weirdo I was arguing against.
Your neutral political commentary is just excuses for bigotry and pandering to fascists.
You are no ally of ours if you entertain the "necessity" of allowing legislation like this to pass. There is no such thing as a "must pass" build and if the alternative truly is to shut down the federal government that is in fact the objectively correct thing to do. You must be confusing us with people who respect the legitimacy of this fascist state.
Maybe chill a bit? And best of luck to you in your endeavors in the new year.
oh fucking hell no you smarmy shitlib.
If you want to change the world, I'd think you be curious about how it works. The Japanese soldiers who fell on their swords (as you seem to think Biden should have done) did nothing for their nation; it was the "spineless cowards" who stayed alive that helped rebuild her. So we must rebuild the fragmented Democratic coalition if we want to prevail.
It seems to me that the progressive constituencies are more interested in fighting each other for control of the party than they are for preventing the likes of Trump.
My god we are not "pogressive constituencies" we are advocates of socialist revolution. If you don't like how we shit on stuff like this go somewhere else we don't want you here unless you are willing to listen and learn.
Also "rebuild her"?!
Rebuild Japan into WHAT?! The fucking fascist dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that became a puppet of US imperialism immediately? I think more of them should have fallen on their swords if that is the case.
Democratic coalition if we want to prevail.
If your democratic coalition signs off on genocidal policies like these anti trans measures then yes they should fail.
