if trump actually does die, the democrats better be on everybody's ass about covering up his decline like they was about biden. because say what you want about him and mental capacity, he didn't die in office.so tired of this “they’re the same” narrative when one side has literally talked about opening a hotel and golf course in gaza while the other side actually had restrictions in place to limit the destruction. i know biden wasn’t great but jesus christ you people are insane if you think they’re the same. so stfu
please get off you fucking high horse he said that 12 years ago and what he meant was the idea of israel being a strong, western force in the middle east is something that the US would’ve strived for if it didn’t exist. “unworthy of the progressive vote” you people are so insufferable, you know that biden was better than trump but you hate the west and the establishment so much you would rather sit aside at let trump win than suck it up and vote for someone you don’t like.
buddy i’m in college assumedly like you. i’ve only ever voted in the last election and i voted for Kamala for the exact reason of preventing Trump with NO other reason. she was a shitty, unimpressive candidate who did not DESERVE my vote, but rather got it out of desperation to avoid something far worse. i can admit that, why can’t you?
i meant kamala but i completely agree, i didn’t like her either but too many progressives with your exact same mindset sat the election out because of her stance on the genocide and what happened because of that, we got that something far worse. she was in no way the best candidate but the choice was clear yet the country chose wrong, partially because progressive put more energy into shitting on her than they did explaining why she is exponentially better than trump
i voted for her DESPITE the fact that she stated constantly that she would be no different than biden (who was wildly unpopular) on every subject INCLUDING gaza, despite the fact that im literally trans and she aligned herself with right wing values including the literal border wall. all that woman did is push farther right even tho no right winger would ever vote for her bc they have the literal conservative party?? she objectively threw the election and turned it into a book tour
like kamala objectively ceded to the right that “immigrants are a threat to us and they should be kicked out”, supported the border wall, was against people like me existing safely, was not pro healthcare or education reform and also she literally got innocent people executed as a AG
its not like third party votes lost her anyways. its been absolutely proven that if every third party voter chose her instead she would still have lost the popular vote. the issue is that democrats have no back bone except when it comes to lobbyists and getting a paycheck, same as republicans. it’s all posturing from them
u said a whole lot of nothing, first, all she said was she would pass the bipartisan border bill that failed and whether you like it or not, the only way to pass legislation is bipartisanly. you’re using talking points that the right used to make her seem more flip floppy than she was. the bill also included aid to ukraine, and both israel and citizens in gaza but i never hear people talk about that.
i agree that her trying to appeal more to the moderates was a bad play but she did “cede” to them idk why you’re being so dramatic. one google search (like the one i just did) would tell you that the last person to be executed in california was in 2006 before she was AG, so that’s more right wing talking points. as far as i know she’s pro trans, she supported increased funding to schools which included more teaching support and early childhood education, so idk where you got that from
and then dems come in charge and sit on their butts collecting paychecks all day. you think i’m criticizing them bc i idolize the right or something but i just wish they actually cared and would do anything meaningful to help their constituents. it’s all posturing and no policy
okay wait where’s the dnc paycheck? there’s no way you’re shilling this hard for free right? show me the paystubs please bc i know you’re getting that good treatment and with the way they do the economy (same as the right i criticize both equally) i can’t blame you honestly
also how is the fact that third party votes didn’t lose her the election a right wing talking point? do right wingers control math now? or was she just so deeply unpopular that even issues much more prescient than gaza lost her bc she refuses to take a stance on anything meaningful beyond capitulating
i agree the democrats are spineless cucks but jesus christ the amount of right wing lies that you’re spouting is crazy, i don’t think you idolize the right i think you hate the establishment democrats so much youre siding with them even though they are against everything you are. let’s not forget who our enemies are, some of those includes democrats like jefferies and schumer but majority are from the other side of the isle.
yes because i literally have no choice like idk how to explain this to you like they both want me dead for political gain but at least one is nicer about it? like it’s not my choice to live in this system. are you tryna pay my relocation bills bc that’s 10s of thousands of dollars lol so
the only reason i have as good a quality of life as i have rn is due to medication which is accessible in these countries you’re saying are so much worse. i have zero recourse in the face of pretty much any form of legal discrimination and it’s entirely intentional. and all you can say is “well at least you’re not in russia lol” like okay yeah im not in another country, why can’t i want this one to do better?
it is quite literally not legal to shoot you in the face. you’re being weird bc it is legal to do that in some countries. and yea i’ll never experience what you go through as a trans person but you’re sitting here acting like you live in this medieval country where you have no rights when you don’t. you have a good quality of life and you have access to medication you need. you can want this country to be better, i do too but you have this weird victim mentality.
what do you mean it’s not legal? it’s not like it’s hard to invoke the trans panic defense. the only reason i’m able to sit here and be on this weird app is my skin color. black trans women are legally executed both by the state and vagrants at a rate so you apparently can’t comprehend it
no one said anything about the suicide rate and no one is laughing. you said it is fully legal for someone to shoot you in the face for being trans and thats just like a weird lie. and the suicide rate is high because people are terrible. and trans kids are isolated and harassed all throughout their life which leads to them killing themselves.
and you think this is all complete coincidence and that our government has absolutely no power to do anything about that? also no it actually is legal for someone to shoot me for being trans like straight up. trans panic defense = if i’m alone with a trans person i can legally murder them at any point. like that’s the law. straight up. there aren’t really any stipulations, beyond it being illegal in some states but not in mine LOL so
because that’s how you think. i actually want life to be better for everyone including trans people who aren’t able to pass (like most of them ngl) and also people of color etc. you think because i benefit from the system at this exact moment that i should just take and be complicit. no i want this country to actually be fair to everyone and for everyone to safe not just me because i happen to benefit RN which could change at any moment
okay in a way that you should be able to understand. it’s not like the government doesn’t know i’m trans bc i had to change my name and gender marker on my passport. they see that. at the moment when they decide to go after the safety of all trans people regardless of physical appearance i would be a target. therefor by fighting to make this country safer im fighting for myself by making it harder for them to inevitably attack me and every other trans person
like the government makes the laws so they can decide to make being trans illegal. i’m anti porn but those regulations are being explicitly used to deem anyone not cis het white as “pornographic” so me. i just want to make sure me and every other trans person in this country can’t be victimized. also canary in coal mine bc things getting worse for us = them going after you next
woah you’re so morally correct and cool and nice for wanting a better life for trans people and people of color, like that’s not the bare minimum. if you truly want those things you would stop sensationalizing everything and lying about weird stuff. do your research so you actually know what you’re talking about bc it’s tiring hearing all these hasan talking points.
yeah i’m only saying that because you’re acting like it’s some crazy revolutionary take lol. when you keep saying i shouldn’t want that or criticize the government bc i have a relatively not atrocious state of living idk how else to explain to you that i want things to be better. you’re acting like it’s some controversial radical take so idk
all you’ve said tonight is that you can’t understand why i would be passionate about ensuring the protection of all people and that i should be happy that i am singly fortunate enough to receive protection due to the fact that i am forced to participate in a racist misogynistic system
all ive been saying is it’s not as bad as you’ve been saying, it’s worse elsewhere. you make everything seem worse than it actually is. “both sides trying to fucking kill me even though i know one side literally doesn’t” “i can literally be shot in the face and it will be legal” like why are you so dramatic.
