Drag has spent all day in voice chat with drag’s trans friends in America and now they’re crying. They’re going to die if they don’t pack up their entire lives and never see their family again, and they don’t even know how to financially accomplish that. No matter what happens, their lives as they know them are over, and they’re going to suffer. They thought they had more time. They thought Harris was going to win. Now they know that if they can’t get out, they’re going to be murdered. They’re scared and sad and they’re crying.

Fuck every single person who contributed to this. Drag’s friends didn’t deserve this. Whatever fascist agenda made anyone think this was an okay outcome, fuck them. This is not okay!

    A true left party would have lost as well, unfortunately.

      No they wouldn’t have. You saw the polls when Kamala picked Tim Walz. The people wanted popular progressive policies. The donor-class establishment messaging that followed is precisely why they lost.

          It absolutely matters. If Democrats don’t learn anything from this, which I doubt that they will, it will be the same thing in 4 more years.

            It will be the same thing again in 4 more years. This wasn’t even the first time they’ve done this.

              Nah. This is what those sitting out for their “moral high-ground” don’t get through their heads. The entire government, all three branches, is now captured by literal Hitler-appreciating fascists who have promised to end democracy. There probably won’t be another opportunity for the dems to fuck up a presidential election.
