I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    …yeah afaik there’s pretty good evidence that trans folks wouldn’t be culturally eliminated under the Biden administration. Do you disagree with that assumption?

    I agree with that assumption. The thing I believe though, is that the Democratic Party leaned too heavily on that instead of focusing on what actually matters. And they did that because that was the only platform they could run on. They wanted to protect the status quo. And as we’ve seen at the inauguration, that same status quo was in the room cheering for Trump.

    The years ahead will be difficult for sure, but I am hopeful that what will come out of the ashes, will be something better.

    Just don’t puff out your chest about claiming to have clean hands when, given the single most pronounced choice we have in determining government for the next cycle, you prioritized trying to maintain a clean conscience over keeping Trump out of the white house.

    I am not trying to come up on top. I was just responding to the commentator who was blaming the pro-palestine crowd for not voting for Kamala. They should have blamed the DNC instead.

      Fair enough. I made a wrong assumption about where you came from and was inappropriately hostile, my apologies. Hope you have a good weekend!
