Description
We got a blue wave. We got a reason to exhale. But let me be clear: winning an election is not the same as delivering for the people who won it for you.
In this special episode of Queer 101, I’m celebrating election-night victories—and asking what Democrats are going to do with them. My takeaway? Stop treating progressive policies like a political liability. Voters want leaders who will fight for working people, protect our rights, and make our lives better.
Democratic must be held accountable; LGBTQ+ rights, trans rights, and Medicare for All.
I’m also questioning Democratic leadership’s priorities, the party’s support for candidates like Angie Nixon in Florida, its dependence on corporate money, and the anti-trans rhetoric showing up in its own ranks. And yes, I’m talking about Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk.
My message to the Democrats out there: celebrate the wins, then get to work. Get money out of politics. Restore rights and essential services. Release the Epstein files. Fight for Medicare for All. Give voters something more than a victory speech.
We showed up. Now I want the people we elected to show up for us.
