    throwing a few scraps out to the desperate starved masses does not make Biden an LGBTQ advocate making history

    Biden says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

    Biden is not progressive he a right leaning religious conservative with a prosecutor as a vice president and they have spent their careers putting citizens in their proper places

    Being progressive and making history would be the democrats upping the minimum wage to $20 or more, protecting women’s rights, protecting voting rights, setting up a national healthcare system, getting the police under control

    Everything that the Democrats already promise every election just to get elected

        Yes and do not expect perfect leaders but at least have them align more with what the citizens want

        remember going to the mall when was younger with a same sex partner and getting the nasty looks and comments when we would hold hands or show any affection especially from the older conservative looking types

        the world does not seem much different than back then some ways less progressive now if that is even possible

        and it should be fucking different now know not the only one

        As someone that is gay, fuck Biden. Our rights are no more protected under a Democrat as they are under a Republican. I’m not talking bullshit social shit like marriage or adoption. Until they address things like wages, housing, education, and healthcare we have no rights. Democrats don’t care what bathroom a trans person uses and also don’t care if they are living on the streets doing it.

        Refusal to address wages, housing, healthcare and education is social murder and violence.

        The motherfuckers also gave our marriages to the states where we would have fewer rights.

          “When you ignore everything democrats have done all across our country, democrats are the same as republicans!”

          Great take

            What have democrats done? We still have wages that suck, no affordable healthcare or housing, not addressing future education costs, no additional protections for trans individuals. Hollow empty platitudes don’t pay the bills or protect people’s right to quality of life.

        No, my rights do not supercede the rights of others. Especially when those other rights are being denied via slaughter by the US.
