if you can’t fight for our most vulnerable then you can’t expect anyone to fight for you. i despise how the right has made trans people the scapegoat in many issues (and nonissues) and have seen some queer people agree with the sentiment. how can you honestly believe that they won’t come for you after they’ve accomplished their goal dehumanizing trans individuals? we all need more empathy for each other.

You do realize NATO started that war? The same people who do mass murder on Iraq, Yemen, Palestine are the ones who accuse Russia of genocide. The average US soldier has killed literally hundreds times more civilians than the average Russian.

in a country where we literally have a two party system you must pick the lesser of two evils and sadly this country chose the one who invited benjamin netanyahu to the fucking white house so you don’t have to morally patronize others for choosing the least nuclear choice given from a flawed system.

WHAT WAS THE OTHER CHOICE??? at least with a liberal adjacent president they can be reasoned with, WHO THE FUCK CAN REASON WITH TRUMP? you are morally grandstanding when you actually stand for fucking nothing. you seek to criticize instead of actually accomplishing anything because it’s wrong if it’s not perfect. newsflash, the world is far from perfect and sometimes we have to settle for the lesser of two evils. that’s how the world works.

alright. well if you can say that i’m the reason the genocide happened (a crazy fucking statement because my family wasn’t even in america when israel was founded), then i suppose i have the same right to blame you for the mass deportations and ICE raids in this country. since your inaction helped pave the way for the worst president we’ve ever fucking had. if you think this is an unfair opinion for me to have, then look back at yourself because you basically did the same to me.

Yes Kamala would have followed the laws of the world’s genocidal imperialist superpower that has enslaved the Global South. See I oppose those laws. This illustrates my point. You identify with the imperial system and the global system because it benefits you. Youre privileged over the colonized world, so you support the status quo.
