Probably most stuff for progressives regarding social issues.

Find some first time Trump voters and ask them.

Or one of you could just answer the question instead of dodging it.

Translation: Throw trans people under the bus to appease “moderates” who find them icky.

I’m tired of pretending that people complaining about “progressive overreach” mean anything else.

Okay, I guess that’s not necessarily true. I guess some might also want black people & women to stop complaining about racism and sexism and be grateful for what they already have.

EDIT: Before anyone accuses me of being hyperbolic. I don’t even necessarily disagree with the assessments of those users, but let’s be honest about what exactly the calls for “progressive moderation” so often bandied about for this sub entail.

It’s a call for Democrats to double-down on Respectability Politics- and in the age of Trump, a lot of us dirty Lefties are pretty cynical about this sort of rhetoric.

Perfectly reasonable ask people what they specifically mean.

Nope. Just looking to clear up any ambiguities. I don’t feel as though asking for clarification is a bad thing.
