anything short of perfectly gender conforming and straight
Shit, I fell directly into that category & I still delayed my sex change by 10 years after my first attempt at coming out.
It worked until it didn't. And yes it was hell, I lost years of my life, and wouldn't wish that on anybody. I think about how much I missed every day, but also, younger me wasn't wrong.

Clearly, you do. And they've convinced you to blame your neighbor for the boot on your neck.
Your logic only makes sense if you completely ignore we're in the middle of a class war...
If you think this is standing up for human rights then, let me tell you, as a trans woman, I'm cooked.
I do hope you enjoy your ban.

I mean, this is just factually wrong. Usually these days when people refer to liberalism it's shorthand for neoliberalism & understood as such. The only way you can make the reply you just made in good faith is if you are somehow blissfully unaware of the main tenants of the modern liberal movement for at least the past 30-40 years... and even then it's not like classical liberalism was anything other than favourable to free market capitalists.
If you think democracy is to blame here, you need to educate yourself about how things work down there. Capitalists have bought and paid their way through elections playing both parties for decades & pumping out propaganda from the media networks they own.
There is no party for the working class in the US. Voters largely did NOT vote for Trump. They voted to abstain or held their nose and voted for the least-bad option. And of those who did vote for Trump they did so in protest & a lack of better options. That's why Trump is in office, and the oligarchs are just playing you into believing otherwise lest the working class realizes we outnumber them.
Blaming common folk for the exploits of billionaires is exactly what your owners want you to be doing. Your anger and outrage is important and valuable, but you need to wake up and place the blame where it belongs.

Of course. Anybody who disagrees with your personal narrow sliver of opinion must just be a Russian bot. /s
Thank you for proving to every person reading that you're only commenting in bad faith.
Can you imagine if every time someone pointed out the difference between Democrats & Republicans, we had to sit through endless comments of people speaking up to say things like "don't gatekeep fascism, mom!!" or "not this moneybear twisted logic!!"?
Liberalism and Leftism broadly disagree on their respective core economic tenants. They're ideologically further apart than Democrats and Republicans. And yet, you struggle to comprehend them as distinct entities without getting upset and triggered... if you seriously consider it divisive to understand that diversity of opinion on the left is good and a sign of a healthy democracy, I don't know what to tell you.
You need to take a good long hard look at what you're promoting here. Not everybody needs to think the same or adhere to exactly the same ideology in order to be deserving of respect and work together with others for common causes. We don't need everyone to be grouped under one label for collective action and agreeable democratic reforms to take place. In fact, it's important that we aren't grouped that way... it's detrimental to us all regardless of whether you're liberal or left.
