    This is so unnervingly frustrating. Author claims we want the same thing and are talking over each other while recognizing they are the only Republican they know pursuing the thing the author claims Republicans want. When Democrats try and explain to Republicans that these things are good for them too (like single payer healthcare), they plug their ears but somehow it’s still the fault of Democrats and Socialists that we don’t have these things.

      They don’t care about these things until it affects them personally.

      I didn’t see if the author claimed to have advocated for bike paths before their father was killed. But I’ve just assumed that’s the case, and in the wild circumstance that I’m wrong, it’ll be more coincidence than anything else.

      I’m so tired of these fascist-come-latelys jumping on that one specific topic that has now affected them WHEN IF PROGRESSIVES HAD OUR WAY THIER RIGHTS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROTECTED ALL FUCKING ALONG.
