I totally agree that the GOP is shit. Thing is that the DNC was preaching one thing and doing another, while simultaneously raising issues that were completely irrelevant to 95%+ of its base. “You can’t feed your family? OK, but that trans kid who you probably never interact with at any point in your life has now rights, and I will base my whole identity around that!” Do you know how many people are transexual in the United States? Less than 1%.
You are right, if you want equality you don’t vote for the GOP, but you sure as hell don’t vote for the DNC either.
I’m sorry but if you can’t be happy that a fellow human has human rights then there is nothing more to say. It doesn’t matter that there are a small percentage of them. Because the fact of the matter is, trans rights are a sign for the rest of the country in question, human rights matter, take away trans rights, now the rest of the queer community, then POC then women are open to it. So it doesn’t just affect the trans community. If you mean making human rights my identity then you’re damn right I’m proud to make human rights my identity.
Of course I am happy that they have rights! I am just saying that it should be irrelevant. It shouldn’t be the platform that the candidates run on. They should just give LGBTQI+ rights, and run on a more socialist platform that will raise the poor and lower the rich. But of course DNC is run by the establishment, and they have certain agendas, so that would never happen. So what’s a point of contention that the two parties can easily have? LGBT rights!
The GOP historically. If you want equality you don’t vote for the party that is shouting out “you are lesser than me, you are my slaves”

It should be the case yes, but it isn’t
Yep. And that’s why we are sliding into fascism.
Imo, you’re right for the wrong reason
Haha, we can agree to disagree. At least we seem to be on the same general team 😜
