plspls_pls_ stop calling each other fascists or astroturfers unless you have a thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.

edit: if any loser dares call for an uncommitted vote in the general election? i will kick them in the balls (gender neutral) (in minecraft)

If you don’t vote, I don’t care, I say donezo on the reg and will say it again. Doesn’t change that Palestinians are dying by the thousands

Giving up is worthless, especially when one evil will ensure everyone in the LGBTQ+ sphere will die at some point in the near future and one won’t. Look inside yourself from an ethical perspective - if you can make some positive change, do it. Especially if it costs you nothing but gets trans people everything

You're saying this to a gay guy who works around trumpers in a factory.

Trump being president doesn't mean the gays will be rounded up into camps or something. I hate when people play this card that we're all gonna get fucking murdered and it's my fault for not voting blue, like what? It's apparent that it's playing on emotions to use LGBT people as some weird guilt trip and it's honestly pretty gross. I can take care of myself and my partner and our home just fine thanks. And I feel no differently safety wise whether it's a Republican or Democrat in office.

The point isn't that the labor movement you are exposed to supports you now.

The point is that the labor movement can take off their union patches and bide time, go underground and find ways to continue fighting fascism.

You can't go back in the closet. A more cowardly version of you can, but the version you see yourself as, the tough guy, he dies if fascism takes hold.

I don't get why people think I'm out at work or everyone supports me being gay or something based on my comment.

I've heard vile homophobia at work. They're still gonna be homophobes no matter what in November

You have heard the vile things said, and you don't care if they get power to change the laws to allow them to act on those vile words?

Not all gay people have your privilege, I hope you understand that before it is too late.
