    True but I think this is more about liberal politicians. That addition would make it a bit more accurate.

      Meh. Most of the “liberal” voters don’t care enough to hold the politicians accountable for their transphobia in primaries.

        True but I think that’s more of an issue of not paying attention than that they actively want trans rights to be eroded. I have seen some people making the argument that trans rights should be abandoned for electability so it’s an idea that’s out there but not a mainstream idea among liberals I don’t think.

      Apples to apples would be comparing elected liberal politicians to elected anarchist politicians, in which case Tiger would be standing there alone.

          Some anarchists have advocated for participation in electoralism. So even though we’ve rarely if ever seen this, I’m not sure I agree it would be totally oxymoronic. Praxis requires reckoning with the existing conditions. And existing conditions are that most changes in society are executed by politicians.

          Now I’m kinda wondering what an anarchist politician would look like.
