I don't like what Biden stands for and he has my vote.
then I do not trust your moral convictions, if you are so willingo to toss your vote to somone who you do not belive in what they stand for
My moral conviction is I would like my queer friends not to be genocided next year. Go fuck yourself.
trans genocide is here now, in biden’s america, and none of you give a fuck! 378 active anti-trans bills right now and none of the liberal “allies” around me EVER speak about it, much less do anything about it. we aren’t a tool for you to use as you please! stop speaking over us you fucking scum bag!
You will stand by and shrug your shoulders as we're dragged off to the camps you spineless coward. Stop using us as a rhetorical shield and grow a fucking brain. Biden has done N O T H I N G to stop the flood of anti-trans legislation happening all over the country. He will do N O T H I N G to save us. UNDERSTAND THIS.
I want you to genuinely think. Will more queer folk be harmed under Biden or Trump? It's a cynical question. But you can't lie to yourself and say the answer is the same. That's my simple math.
Saying I'm going to "stand by and shrug my shoulders". You don't know me. Your arguing a faceless amalgamation of every liberal who vaguely says something liberal. Understand I am not a liberal. Understand that I have stake in this. Understand that we both can shit on Biden all god damn day but at the end of it, we both know queer folk will suffer less under Biden. That doesn't mean he's going to fix it. Doesn't mean he's going to be a big ol trans flag waving person. He simply will not accelerate it.
I'll take the extra time. Because unless your planning on grabbing and gun and popping shots in the next few months, that's the fucking choice right now. And I'll take the extra time rather than the guy who's gonna turn your states anti trans legislation into federal legislation.
It's cynical. But thems the breaks.
Respect comrade. We are in this boat together.
Fuck off with your patronizing bullshit. I don't need to be talked down to by someone who would cynically support the status quo to save their own hide for a bit longer. You're no comrade of mine.
They're being harmed now. This is no hypothetical. Waves of anti-trans legislation are rolling through the country right now and this decrepit shitbag has done not a single damn thing to stop it. Abortion rights were ripped away, 2 years ago, halfway through this fuckers term and he DID NOTHING TO STOP IT. He has supported anti-migrant legislation harsher than anything trump threatened to do. The wall is being built, and he has done nothing to stop it. The police are currently beating students on campuses for criticizing Israel's genocide and Biden has done nothing to stop it.
Everything you whinge about happening under trump is already happening under biden, and instead of criticizing it you browbeat people into accepting it, saying "the other guy will be worse!" Materially, they are the same. Your head is in the sand.
LOL, plenty of us will stand by those we love. I've got close to a dozen LGBT+ friends (chosen family) who I would stand on the line and take a beating for.
Maybe take a long think about why you don't feel you have anyone around you who would do the same.
yeah, that's not going to happen, its just scare tactics.
It’s not “scare tactics” when it actually happens.
