Sex work is a service other people need is a hell of a human rights stance

being the eternal contrarian, i am gonna say: i understand where they're coming from and don't necessarily disagree but you would need to build a society where people organically chose sex work as their career because it was a good thing they wanted to do, that society and their peers did not shame them for, and that got adequate attention and protection from the government and healthcare industry

most people seem to have a pretty strong need for sex, or at least emotional intimacy on a similar level, sex work relieves that pressure for people who are incapable of finding a mate for whatever reason

the solution to the problems sex workers face is to tackle the problems sex workers face, instead of framing it explicitly as exploitation and trying to eliminate the professions sex work encompasses

This is the thing that gets me. Even in the most optimistic possible interpretation of their strategy, you wouldn't get enough left-wingers in Congress to actually pass anything substantial for multiple decades.

Their mindset relies on just sort of abstracting things out to "we've elected some left-ish people to Congress, so we just need to keep doing that!" and not thinking about the actual numbers involved.

I think the specific point I lost hope on progress was when Pelosi got made speaker of the house again. I couldn't believe it, I couldn't fathom the reason they would give her that role again after how bad she was at actually accomplishing Democrat agendas and keeping people in office, but they just give it back to her and let her keep it despite one under-performing election after another

Any time somebody has an original idea in the party they get shut out so we can... circle the wagons, sacrifice a few more things to preserve our most basic foundational necessities and do basic government, and remind america that leftists are bad (so vote for us, the party left of center)

I liked Howard Dean once; I know he's a pizza poo poo as an adult, so let's not get into that, but he pushed for a different approach to national politics and got run out of leadership for it. At least it was something, anything, a loving plan instead of this defensive/reactive bullshit

I can't vote for the fuckin democrats anymore and I sure as gently caress won't vote for the republicans, I'm loving lost and I hate it

We're gonna be dealing with Pelosi for like another twenty loving years, she'll be the first uploaded conciousness re-elected to congress

I don't really know how to reconcile this. I'll continue to vote and support leftists in primaries, but they clearly can't do much especially on a Federal level. I think it's different locally, but local politics doesn't address the fact that we're hurtling toward climate death (or at least it doesn't directly, it could in an abstract sense).

Oh well, hell world continues apace.

maybe getting your state to identify ways to stabilize their economy/tax base. then invest, and lobby the federal government for assistance. unfortunately for your fake state, they will likely be satisfied by making house boats/mooring places legal business addresses

I don't think it's particularly inspiring that it barely passed, and that it's a lovely version of the bill that won't go into effect until 2025. It's just better than nothing, and without people like her having won last year, it would've been nothing. This state sucks and this country sucks, but the good news is the Democrat Party is going to take care of us all. :yaycat:

also I don't know if she did that or if the party did it, sounds more like something they'd do

Most Democrats, including "left" Democrats like The Squad, like Pelosi though (or at least don't dislike her).

That's basically my point - given the existence of Republicans, you'd need to somehow replace nearly every single (if not literally every single) Democrat with a leftist. It's insane and not even remotely realistic, but this is the reality of what people mean when they talk about "focusing on primarying Democrats." Electing a leftist as President is more realistic simply due to there being a lot of power in that single position, but even that likely wouldn't work (if nothing else, they wouldn't be left alive if they were a threat).
