This is the most offensive trash ever written. This type of thinking acts as if trans people are not human and that the only consideration should be the journey of hateful flawed straight white men. This is the very definition of white straight supremacy. The Bernie left.
Be clear. The Bernie left is prepping you for fascism. The Bernie left wants you to hold up the white straight working class on a pedestal. The Bernie left wants you to disregard POC, LGBTQ, disabled, immigrant, indigenous, women as “distractions” to the goal of the revolution.
This is not new. Bernie Sanders ideology has been consistent for 50 years.

Class is the only struggle that matters.

All other Identities are distractions from the class struggle.

Doubling down on Joe Rogan is the most in your face push in his ideology yet.

It’s time to 👀
Personal note: last night I was talking with former Vermont Governor peter Shumlin about the path of civil unions in our state and thanking him for his role in on that first bill as state senator. He told me that when Sanders found out about the bill...
Sanders came into Shumlin’s office and said “This a disaster! Why are you doing this? You are upsetting my working people!”
Shumlin told me he said “Because it’s the right thing to do”
And that of course Sanders would deny this convo but that I could quote it.
Sanders did not understand LGBT people as people. Sanders did not understand LGBT Vermonters as in need of civil protections and the rights and responsibilities of civil unions as WORKING PEOPLE in terms of taxation, inheritance, property rights, insurance, social security!
This was in the same time period of Sanders over hyped DOMA vote.
(Which is a total bs way to prove LGBT allyship as I’ve discussed.)
When it got REAL in Vermont and LGBTQ people were going to get the first set of marriage like rights Bernie Sanders called it A DISASTER.
Understand that the only Reason Sanders votes against DOMA the Defense of Marriage Act is because he’s a states rights adherent.

Marriage had always been decided by states until Loving v. Virginia.

That case told the states they could not have laws against interracial marriage
When the DOMA vote came up Jane Sanders Told the press “this is about states rights.”

“States rights” had been used as a defense of slavery then Jim Crow denying African Americans the right to vote and for public accommodation until the civil rights acts of the 1960’s.
In other words we have no way of knowing if in 1996 Sanders was voting to preserve Vermont’s right to prohibit marriage equality or to embrace it.

DOMA was much more complicated than was presented in 2016 revisionism.
When Sanders continuously elevates straight white males over every other marginalized group it makes you wonder.

When Sanders embraces a man who lets the n word fly around like candy and tells us to open the tent for his followers it makes you wonder.
When Sanders says the day before the 2016 election People voting for trump are not necessarily racist when all of us know that the entire basis of that campaign was/is racism it makes you wonder.
When Bernie Sanders answers a question about why he always frames issues around black America in terms of CRIME and he says “I said Black 50 times, now that’s 51.” You wonder.
