I am, because this version of it is untenable and meaningless If you really think everyone should be guaranteed to have whatever job they want regardless of their behavior the fight starts at a much deeper level than Maya fucking Forstadter

I'm sure you would like to avoid what Maya ACTUALLY said by resorting to a "deeper" level, because her tweets of evil were actually so anodyne and you could never justify terminating her or calling her an "enemy of democracy" because of them.

Lol, I mean that's the "neoliberal" way to frame it based on what the law actually says For the record I'm in favor of any action taken to restrict employers from exercising their legal right to fire trans people in places where that right exists

Again, "freedom for they/he/she but not for thee". And you wonder why the Democrats are in such terrible, terrible shape. (Well, YOU don't. You probably think they are crushing it.)

Yup, the difference between "liberals" in this sense and non-liberals is having actual material interests at stake that go beyond the legal abstraction of freedom, which is only a means to an end

And honestly one of the major reasons the Democrats are losing is this insistence on fair play and sportsmanship, like this is a game and not a battle for survival The West Wing having Bartlett make sure to appoint a conservative and a liberal to balance the Supreme Court

You're embodying everything bad about that show, all the wanking about liberty and freedom and the Bill of Rights and the democratic process, all the sneering about protesters who take things too far and don't see how silly they sound to normal people
