The question I have is, which one of our democratic leaders is going to address Fosta/Sesta and try to repeal it? Which one of these candidates is going to stand up for sex workers rights? Which one, if any of these candidates is sex positive? For as progressive as some of these politicians are, finding one that gives a damn about sex workers right is next to impossible.
To get to that conversation you need to get to the point where you're talking about legalization first.The question I have is, which one of our democratic leaders is going to address Fosta/Sesta and try to repeal it?

That also applies to trans and enby people in a wayThat's just sad guys. Sex workers right seems like the last frontier in this country. No matter how progressive someone is, they can still have shit opinions on sexual expression and sex workers rights. My wife studies this very closely and its just sad to see we're chasms away from addressing this stuff properly.
Sounds like a job for known Person of Means™, Howard Shultz.Legalize sex work and bring it under the benevolent all seeing eye of corporations.
I'd say this sounds about right. I'd be surprised if even 10% of democratic voters list sex workers' rights as even a top 5 issue. There just isn't national traction for progressing on that issue.To get to that conversation you need to get to the point where you're talking about legalization first.
Without that, the legitimate trafficking issues they were targeting leave sex workers an externality they're not particularly concerned with.
Got it from the first reply to the tweet I posted. I went to go look for the response nd couldn't find it. Guess I now know why!
And make no mistake, I don't like tulsi and it's not meant to be a defense of her.
A newsworthy post of a known extremely racist person endorsing her and what I thought was her current response to said endorsement.
Welcome to Starbutts™, may I take your order?
Hope she explains further how she'd expand protecting civil rights as a matter of national security when she is President.
Yeah, I'm curious to see if this is just some one-off tweet or if the idea of treating white supremacist organizations and other hate groups as terrorist organizations will actually be a significant part of her campaign because, as you said, that's an area where she can leverage her past to her advantage.Going after white supremacist terror groups as part of the campaign platform would be an unexpected but pleasant surprise that actually leverages her background to make it a positive.

Hasn't been tried since then either. Gore ran away from Clinton, though he did win the primary.
She's a straight up overton window/trial balloon candidate at this point and that's fine.
Dug her own grave on native burial grounds, hooooooooooooo!

I might actually agree with you hereShe's a straight up overton window/trial balloon candidate at this point and that's fine.
She actually is really playing to her strengths

really though? do you think anyone stole Kennedy's spotlight last time. I mean come on these things usually mean nothing.Wish Harris and Bernie wouldn't steal Stacey Abrams spotlight tonight.

...why? More candidates should do it tbhWish Harris and Bernie wouldn't steal Stacey Abrams spotlight tonight.
It's Abrams's moment.
The more the merrier.
I don't agree. Just seems like taking advantage and diluting the message for some extra PR. But w/e not the end of the world.
She did a facebook livestream "prebuttal thing". Which, in theory is kinda bad. In practice, it was on facebook live, so it's unlikely many people saw it.
It is decidedly not about her lol
