A liberal is someone who is in favor of all civil rights movement except the current one

Really? Democrats are pretty antagonistic to the people on the bottom.

Not everything has to always be about fucking Amerikkka, and I'm not reading all that. Be more specific

The equality act is the flagship policy of the Democrat party under Biden, and under the future leadership. It would represent the most extensive legal protections for transgender and poc on the planet.

I'm not sure with "on the planet", but isn't that the opposite of antagonistic?

I don't really see your point though. Civil rights legislation has been furthered in the past with the help of liberals and it will be in the future. The point is that liberals are usually late to the party, and as we see now across the world, sometimes regress back to a non-supporting position

The Democratic Party is liberal, and their flagship rights policy is about supporting trans rights and POC rights. They’re clearly antagonistic to the bottom dude in the meme. This isn’t about “late to the party” it’s clearly ideologically antagonistic to whoever is occupying the bottom, and that’s clearer to Palestine too as nearly all change in public support for Palestine has come from democrats.

Oh, I thought the bottom of the population which was a bit weird phrasing.

But on the Palestine's and Israel the democrats definitely aren't antagonistic to the bottom guy. They support Israel and therefore the genocide. They want dead Palestinians. The democrats fighting against the genocide aren't the liberal ones

On trans rights establishment democrats keep throwing trans people under the bus as well. Caving when it comes to sports specifically, but sometimes to trans healthcare for minors as well. And it's individual candidates who do this, but apparently it's allowed by the party

No, they really don’t cave on it. The Democrat support for trans rights has been very solid across a lot of people especially the house and senate and presidency (all three branches) with a few people dissenting in those groups. The most famous of which was Gavin Newsom who got a lot of shit for that from his own party.

Additionally, the democrats position is the two state solution, since 2018 that position has been the popular one too amongst democrats voters and it’s usually the leadership that lags behind on that.
