Seems to be the fashion these days for supposed left / liberal politicians to 'counter' the opposition by doing exactly what the opposition wants. It's clearly not just the USA where governments are full of useless, half dead pieces of shit that would rather roll over and show their bellies than ever make the effort of standing up for the people who helped them each their positions of power.
This is why the right wing is gaining everywhere. Not because of the wOkE agENdA, not because trans people are allowed to exist. But because the so called defenders of freedom and democracy are spineless, useless, walking corpses that seem more interested in trying to make nazis happy than trying to make society a fair place for all to live.
