      There will always be a Boogeyman to fear, Trump is the current one. That’s how the oligarchy stays in power

            Holy privilege Batman. Are trans people not included in your definition of “our lives”?

            Did you just openly admit that you only care about straight white men?

              Incredibly naive of you to assume I’m straight. The hollow platitudes coming from Democrats don’t protect trans either. And quit using marginalized people as human shields to defend shitty politics while insisting they vote for the people keeping them marginalized.

                Then you’re advocating for more power for people who want to end your existence. Nice play, genius.

                Trans here. You’re lying to me when you say I have nothing to lose from a Trump presidency, and you’re either lying to yourself or lying about being queer.

                  What protections have Democrats extended for you? They talk about using the bathroom of choice but don’t do shit that you have to live on the streets to do it, or have access to physical or mental health care that you may need, and basic cost of living is out of control. While Republicans have passed over 300 bills against the lgbtq+ community, Democrats have done shit at the federal level to counteract those laws. As someone that came out during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, I’ve seen Democrats do nothing but shit on us while claiming to be an ally.

      Trump is the inevitable if you keep voting in genocidal trash like Biden that depresses voter turnout.

        Accelerationists are far worse than MAGA. Because MAGA can claim ignorance.

        You are threatening to purposely fuck up America unless your demands are heeded.

        It’s fucking extortion.

          America is already fucked up. The people who don’t believe so are deluded or benefiting from the situation.

            So you’re an admitted troll here to disrupt an election… got it.

            That’s all I needed.

                And what is the truth exactly? That you won’t cop to the fact that while you claim to care about genocide, you are entirely unwilling to stop it from getting exponentially worse?

          Lets assume it is extortion.

          Wouldnt it be irresponsible to not give them what the want with the stakes so high?
