Another fucking lib was lecturing me that the only choice I have is which guy I endorse to commit genocide and I broke down and listed all the shit I've done fighting for a better world my whole fucking life, all the trauma, all the pain, all the horror, all the hard work and sweat and tears and misery and frustration. And they just smugly replied "Oh yeah I'm very political myself I've seen people like you and we just let you pretend to be freedom fighters" and I hate them all so much.

These days when folks say they're supporting biden to save them from trump all i think about is forty years of triangulation and lurching to the right and "for every democrat we lose we'll pick up two moderate republicans in the suburbs" and "fund the police" and every senior dem being ambivalent about abortion.

They'll turn on queer people the moment the gop collapses and there are suddenly tens of millions of new voters in play. The democrats of 2024 are now far to the right of Reagan.

It's the whole liberationist vs assimilationist battle that's been going on for decades and decades. The assimilationists will sell out anyone if they think it means it will finally make society grant them "normalness" and the right to be just like all the other liberal ghouls.. And the first people they well out, always, are liberationists fighting for a better world.
