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.

Trump also persecutes the Palestinians AND he persecutes the Ukrainians. Not saying Kamala is perfect, but shes a much better option than what we have

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.

what the actual fuck are you talking about. i’m being realistic about our shitty country while you continue to be in denial that your actions, or lack thereof if you didn’t vote, have consequences. you simply do not understand how people work.

well thanks for informing me. i’m literally a democratic socialist, have only supported progressive candidates until i had to vote for the candidate most likely to actually win against a RAPIST NAZI, have donated to people in gaza, and participated in boycotts from companies supporting israel, but apparently since i’m too fucking realistic about our dire situation and not a single issue voter, i’m just as bad as the IDF carrying out the genocide. oh my god you are delusional.

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.

no one is guilty for their leader’s choices. are you going to blame the people in russia for the actions of putin? a dictator who rigged the election for himself? you aren’t a serious person.

and your plan is better? allow fascists to become the president of this country and slowly dismantle every pillar of government we have? say what you want about kamala, but i think she would have followed the laws more than trump is doing by militarily occupying DC and lying about crime rates to justify it.

okay you have to be fucking trolling. no way a person genuinely believes this fucking garbage. solidifies that you simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW HUMAN BEINGS WORK. you can’t corral them into a herd, all 350 million of us, to simply not vote in the presidential election. logistically impossibly, please enlighten me on why you didn’t try hard enough to make that happen. hmm, could you maybe also be to blame?

this is your core belief and it’s genuinely sad it can be described in a single tweet. you are not better than anyone else in america and i hope you figure that out one day instead of patronizing people who might be on your side.

my theory is organizing a majority of americans to vote for people we can hold accountable but thanks for pretending to know anything about me like you ever cared to know. i’m not focused on my own privilege, i just want a stable fucking society after removing the genuine Hitler in Chief we have right now. please tell me how you plan to handle trump since allowing him to become president actually created more problems for the global south and palestine than if kamala were president.

i actually didn’t vote for donald trump. yknow, the actual white supremacist, sexist, racist, anti semitic geriatric who wouldn’t care if we all perished in nuclear war. you might be forgetting the other candidate was a black woman but that’s fine. your obvious hatred of america is palpable but i still don’t understand why you’re so keen on being the martyr for the palestinians when you’re just as much a part of the system as i am?

just because you’ve read marxist theory, that does not make you an expert on world affairs or apparently even domestic politics for that matter. it just makes you pretentious and insufferable. the west has many issues but you cannot deny that it is an amazing cultural melting pot unlike any in the world. that is so unbelievably valuable to me that i want to live in a world where everyone can be truly equal here, so i’m not going to just completely give up like you seem to already have done.

Just stop engaging with them. They have no understanding of how the world works and their lack of a vote actively helped give Trump power. They’re on some moral high horse and are delusional. Don’t reward them with attention

It does count against all of them. They are included in this poem. Every persecuted group of people count. I know my views and that I don’t support genocide ever, I’m not going to waste my time trying to defend myself to someone so delusional

Voting for Trump is a vote for genociding every group of minorities ever. Voting Kamala is a vote for someone attacking specially the Palestinians. At least I know other groups like LGBT+ community, black people, immigrants, etc, are safe while I’m then focusing my activism towards advocating for free Palestine. Damage control my guy, it’s not a hard concept except for pea brains like yourself
