Banning criticism is nazi shit and so is transphobia. Fuck these assholes
You’d be surprised how much Ohions prefer this
I’m not surprised but I also think most people with these ideas don’t actually believe them. They’ve been fed a line of bullshit about people with differences being their enemies. It should be our job to push back on it.
We should NOT pander to regressive bigoted bullshit for a crumb of power. It doesn’t even work! These weak democrats sell out their people and lose the election anyway because they’re spineless wimps. They don’t stand for shit and that’s why they lose. Shame on them.
Have you seen the Enemies Project on Youtube? If not it is something you would probably want to share with people.
yeesh, MAGA needs therapy.
Everything Nancy spoke was misplaced trauma, she wants to inflict on everyone else!
I 100% agree. Dems don’t have to do this. Kamala literally gained more white support than Biden, Hillary and Obama 2012. Suburban White voters aren’t fleeing over trans stuff the way the media is trying to portray it.
But they’re winning the messaging battle.
@Blibly @BadmanDan I wouldn’t assume they lose anything. assh. chump and those controlling him aren’t interested in a real election.
That’s what makes logical sense.
Good! The LAST thing we Want is to Listen to our Constituents!
-Democrats who DONT UNDERSTAND why they Keep Losing to Socialists!
“We can’t be the party of pronouns!”
Then what, the fuck, are you? Certainly not the party of the working class.
And why CAN’T we be the party of pronouns? What the fuck is wrong with respecting people’s identities and pushing for positive change. I’ve had enough of this regressive bullshit from these losers.
Donors said “no.”
Then we eat the donors. I’ve had enough
Time to make Donor Kebabs
Because there’s a lot more important stuff to worry about than someone’s fucking pronouns.
No. Basic human decency in the face of fascism is incredibly important actually. You will not change my mind. Bye.
Self identity doesn’t require external validation. You define yourself through your actions, not by what you say you are. It’s not a sign of disrespect if someone doesn’t use your preferred pronouns, it’s that they just don’t care. They’re more concerned with you being a good neighbor or that you use your turn signals or say please and thank you or make eye contact when you’re talking to someone or that you bathe before you go out in public. Pronouns are superficial. Try actually contributing something positive to the world instead of acting like a victim.
You define yourself through your actions, not by what you say you are.
I’d argue you define yourself through both.
It’s not a sign of disrespect if someone doesn’t use your preferred pronouns
If you purposefully don’t use their preferred pronouns it is. In much the same way it’s a sign of disrespect to call someone a piece of trash to their face.
it’s that they’re more concerned with you being a good neighbor
You’re being the bad “neighbor” by purposefully using the wrong pronouns, but also, what?
People who purposely use your wrong pronouns are just assholes. I’m not talking about them. Just regular people. And your pronouns, or your name, or what skin color you have are just labels. Not who you are.
“Banning criticism”???
FFFFffffuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
We don’t call them the Texas of the Midwest for nothing.
We do? I’ve been calling Ohio “the Florida of the North”. Mostly because “Ohio Man” and “Florida Man” may as well be the same person in a different hat, “Texas Man” is his own distinct brand of batshit.
Pennsylvania is given a similar distinction.
hey, I resemble that remark!
Floridians refer to Ohio as North Alabama.
well I suppose that one moniker, that with which we refer to the parts
the light doesn’t touchknown as Pennsyltucky, sounds positively delightful by comparison thenI can tell you I’d definitely rather be in Pennsyltucky than North Alabama, but neither one is what I would call particularly enthralling tourist destinations nor hidden gems among the hills. Unless you count Deliverance or Children of the Corn as a hidden gem, which, I mean fair to you, great films, not how I’d want to spend a weekend.
And now, just to really fuck with you: Ohio has breached containment. Ohio is in the Vice Presidency, and will be at the wheel if Trump dies. You may have realized this already, but if you haven’t, if that doesn’t make you shiver a bit, I don’t know what will. I am very ready for the Trump state funeral, I am very much not ready for The Adventures of Couch-Loving Ohio Man With the Nuclear Football.

You’ll never get better from neo-liberals. They are essentially mercenaries for change, if you want something to change they have to be paid first or find a way to monetize it so they can make a buck off it.
The people digging that hole arent going anywhere. Our tent needs to have some rules, or we need to toss people out when they wont align. “Big tent” hasnt been working. Things like genocide, allowing birth control and womens right to choose, universal human rights, etc arent negotiable and if people dont like that they can get tossed from the tent and lose that D near their name. Right now the “D” means next to nothing.
Can the democrats stop worrying about shit like this and actually govern?
If by govern you mean do whatever the donors tell them to do and nothing else, then yes, sure…
The Dems are our only hope and they havent changed much since the lost election. Its still government by donors
Wait what? How would dems ban criticism? Full internet control?
Sternly written letter?
Cool. Then the Ohio Dems can suck an unwashed ass.
Streisand effect goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just one more reason why I left Ohio, and why I’ll never live there again. Absolute shit hole.
Infringing on free politcal speech is one of those few truly bipartisan issues, along with separating kids from their parents, protecting and participating in kid fucking, going after whistleblowers, allowing law enforcement to have no accountability and free reign to do whatever they want, and of course, supporting and sponsoring genocide against anyone israel says is scary or amalek this week.
Seems there’s always a line with the holders of conservative values of how far they’ll go. Used to be it was black people, then it was gay people, now it’s trans people.
Isn’t it a bit odd that the responses in this thread all stem from a headline, written to summarize an interpretation, by Amyinthemorning.com…
It’s Erin.
And there are direct sources for this complaint, showing that the compliance team will try to enforce compliance.
There are two things discussed here, the candidate’s statement (indefensible, as expressed) and OPs headline saying that people are being “BANNED!” by Ohio dem party. To the second, the screenshot you post isn’t communicating that, it’s communicating that another elected official was asked by their party to discuss the matter strategically in public while work is done internally to address this and form a united response - those things being take stakes for elected politics - and they weren’t happy with the pace of any supposed internal resolution and unified public response, which is understandable. But all of that has nothing to do with OPs choice to push Abby in the morning’s inflammatory headline of " BANNED!!!" which is only intended to leave left minded peoples split against themselves.
“the Ohio Democratic Party itself demanded the criticism be removed, effectively barring those within the party from publicly critiquing a major candidate’s transphobia.”
Did you even read anything past the headline? How is saying theyre banned misleading or whatever youre trying to argue? And then to get the name wrong, get corrected and STILL get it wrong really leaves me to believe you are acting in bad faith.
ODP says they broke the rules. What those rules are left for interpretation. But they did delete a post on Facebook.
Arienne 🧵is saying Ohio DNC and the candidate in question betrayed rights.
Erin is indeed making assumptions of censure, but something is holding these two from saying more.
