Ok but how many people in the whole US agree with you enough that you’d call them an ally? 2% .2%? Your plan is to enact change with 99.8% of everyone on the other side of you? The movement requires liberals and centrists to change their minds.

My guy I agree with you that trans lives matter more than money, but this is not how to convince people to join our side. Like absolutely this countries priorities are absolutely fucked, but opening with “fuck your money” is only gonna get assholes to dig in their heels

I was raised super conservative, and the two biggest steps on my journey to the left were Jon Stewart Bernie Sanders

Jon got my attention by pointing out the hypocrisy that did in fact exist on both sides. It gave me a space to exist where I wasn’t just called a wrong dumb redneck and dismissed, but felt like he was actually trying to meet me where I was. That allowed me to let my guard down and actually listen to what he was saying.

Bernie Sanders came along in 2016 at a point where I would’ve called myself a centrist and basically did the same thing. Non judgmentally gave me a space to exist, listed some topics I cared about, then gave me a cause for them.
