    if Trump was letting these horrible things happen, we’d feel outraged and upset. We might even feel obliged to get up and go protest the things he is doing, which as we all know can often cause us to miss brunch. But because a trusted Democrat is in office, we can just relax and think pleasant thoughts and drink bottles of wine and Nyquil in the bathtub.

    I mean can’t point out flaws in an election year, or any year according to DNC leadership

      I should have also pointed out that as someone who isn’t a US citizen, I don’t get the choice to vote for either but all your US Defaultism mindsets didn’t even consider that!

        You don’t get to make a “US Defaultism” comment after implying you had the right to vote in the U.S. election.

    For fucks sake.

    If you can’t even remember what it was like just four fucking years ago under Trump, then you know what? You fuckos deserve him.

    I’m white, male, and I can cosplay as christian and conservative. The people that can’t pass as white, aren’t obviously male, and can’t temporarily appear to be christian and conservative will be far more fucked than you currently seem to believe is possible if Trump gets re-elected.

    This ‘both sides’ shit is so goddamn tiresome, esp. when one side is demonstrably better even on the genocide of the Palestinian people.

      We can vote for genocide, or genocide that sells pride flags once a year. As a man who has sucked my fair share of dicks, you make a compelling argument, and hey, it’s been almost a decade since democrats allowed us to get married, so we kinda owe them this one!

      Thanks, Ally™️!

        Hey, just so we’re clear, Biden is trying to make sure that The Gays™️ have the right to exist, has been expanding title IX protections, and is doing his best to make sure that LGBTQ+ people are protected under the law, and which Republican states are suing over to prevent source. I’m sure you think that the fight is over for you, you’ve got your basic bare minimum rights, and that’s good enough. But I’m old enough to remember when California (!!!) had a vote and overturned marriage equality (the effort to overturn marriage equality was largely funded by the Mormon church, BTW), which is what led to Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015, which, yes, was under Obama). But the thing you gotta remember here is that Obergefell was a 5-4 decision, with Kennedy, Ginsburd, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan in the majority, with Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito dissenting. The current court, courtesy of Trump, would have Roberts, Coney-Barrett, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Goresuch against marriage equality, and only Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan in favor.

        So, yeah, cool story bro. Tell your trans friends that you didn’t care enough about them to make the minimum effort.

          Irrelevant, since that was decided by the Supreme Court, not Obama.

          Yes, the SC sucks now, but it’s going to suck regardless of who gets elected. That’s kinda the point of the SC. It’s independent of the executive branch.

            The president has the power to appoint judges. So yeah, it’s very much the fault of Trump that Roe was overturned. For LGBTQ+ rights to remain, we–the entire US–need a president that will appoint judges that are willing to uphold that basic legal principle. The president can do some things through executive action, but he does need a congress and court system on his side to make lasting changes.

              Where did I say that it wasn’t Trump’s fault? Yes, Trump appointed the judges, and that might be a good reason not to vote for him, but that isn’t the argument you were making.

              The Democrats didn’t codify Roe into law for decades, even when they had control of all three branches of government.

              What are they doing to fix this? Honest question.

                Biden claims that he wants to, but unless Dems hold the senate and take the house, there’s no way in hell that’s happening. Even if they did, they’re have to end the filibuster, which I think is probably not a good idea. And I don’t think that a law would hold up to SCOTUS as it is now, because ‘muh state’s rights’. And honestly, even if it had been federal law for decades, this SCOTUS still would have thrown it out, because Trump packed the court with three batshit crazy conservatives.

                  Yes it is critical that we allow a senate rule that was invented to keep slavery from being outlawed around. There is no possible way that we could make specific laws that were immune to the filibuster, or simply reinstate the filibuster after passing laws codifying existing SCOTUS rulings. The most important aspect of government is that good things can never override the status quo, only bad things get to do that.

        We already know that Trump has nothing but contempt for Palestinians, and that he is fully committed to supporting Israel and Zionism, because his evangelical base demands it.

        But honestly, if you’re dumb enough to think Trump is going to be better, go fucking vote for him and see what happens. And when you’re crying about Zionists taking all of the Palestinian land in the West Bank, and killing every last Palestinian in Gaza with Trump’s encouragement, I’ll remind you of this.
