So today's thing is Tim Kaine bashing. Wonder what tomorrow will bring.

[Vesper]

66. Pro Keystone, proposed 20 week ban, anti telemedicine, pro ultrasound legislation.

It is truly ridiculous to say that he is not the same as the GOP. I do not care what his religion is, or what his personal beliefs are about his own body, this man sought to harm women legislatively.

I do not care what he states, he has ALREADY show us what he is. In case you are not aware, there is literally zero reason for any bill to make ultrasounds available, what was the compromise? That was literally the status quo before and after, that was an utterly pointless bill and this spin on it is even more ridiculous than ignoring the man's literal legislative history and right wing policy positions. His one act was utterly meaningless, while his 20 week ban that he sponsored speaks volumes, as does his anti telemedicine thing.

I offered links to explain the heinousness of his positions, I will include another.

He is NOT progressive period, he is literally more regressive than his GOP opponent, since he has introduced right wing legislation himself, and signed a letter in support of Keystone.

This is not about holding out for perfection, this is literally sounding the alarm that this man is dangerous, dishonest and WORSE than the GOP.

I will be damned if I stay silent as the purists who demanded perfection now excuse actual right wingers who sought to kill women, violate their access to healthcare in the most sadistic ways possible and who demand that w not call out the blatant hupicrisy, misogyny and wrong headed actions here.

Women's basic human rights are not a play thing, and if it is something that any purist is not rigid on, we shall all learn why and how it is a stupidness idea to piss off women. We are the base, we are the backbone, we are the actual workforce, it is OUR marches that some are taking credit for who have not listened at all. We told you all that we were fighting for our basic rights and the right to choice was not negotiable.

I guess being this tone deaf and this blatant about the reality of that supposed "purity" while denying the facts to support a white man who is a literal right winger working to kill women and make them suffer is a fail in outreach, but does unify us against this toxic strain of faux progressivism.

We see and hear what is going on, and we are not pleased with the hypocrisy or the condescension from the folks who seek to marginalized women, POC and the actual working class. Do not underestimate us.
