  • Sorry but you must be young. I lived through the 90s as a visibly queer person. They never accepted us. They never will.

    We need to move the spotlight off of us and onto widely supported policies (pro labor, higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, finance regulation) instead of the dumbest fucking wedge issues of all time.

    The ~decade or so under (mostly) Obama was a fucking blip in history. We’ve always been hated. That’s not going to change. Maybe because I was violently assaulted most of my childhood for being queer I’m a little more attuned to the fact that it was fake acceptance all along.

    But go ahead and focus on people’s precious feelings for being misgendered and continue to lose elections instead of aiming for broad appeal. Broad appeal ≠ killing queers so don’t fucking put words in my mouth. Just another out to brunch liberal…

    Don’t forget the dems were against gay marriage before they were for it (as recently as 2012!), depending on the political winds. They were for don’t ask don’t tell until they were against it. They’re not allies and they never had our best interests at heart. They’re manipulative power hungry assholes and nothing more. The fact that they have queers so bent out of shape over the election results just proves my point. They’re manipulating you. They will gladly throw you off a cliff if republicans campaign for throwing you into a volcano and then they will brag about how they’re the lesser evil and you should vote blue no matter who.




  • I use pronouns as an example because it’s 1% of the population and well meaning cis liberals love to virtue signal over it and beat everyone else over the head with it in a smug sense of superiority. In reality, it doesn’t matter at all and shouldn’t even be part of a political platform. It’s bad strategy and stupid, catering to the special feelings of a tiny group of people over the realistic needs of the larger group.

    When it comes to people with gender neutral names, if you’re not sure just ask. Or guess, and if you guessed wrong, apologize. Only the power tripping type are gonna get hung up on it. People misgender me all the time. I don’t care. It’s not out of malice.


  • It remains the democrats fault for:

    • gaslighting the public about inflation

    • gaslighting the public about not one but two new wars including a genocide!

    • refusing to run a small D democratic primary that they didn’t rig since checks notes 2004 (they tried to rig 2008 for Hillary but failed because Obama was so charismatic they couldn’t stop him)

    • refusing to run a primary at all in 2024, despite biden promising when elected in 2020 to be a one term president, and his own polling showed he’d lose in 2024

    • last minute Hail Mary of replacing biden with Harris despite not a single vote being cast for her

    • no platform other than “we’re not trump! Elect an anti-democratic party to save democracy! Trumps the next hitler!!!”

    • didn’t bother campaigning in swing states just like Hillary in 2016

    Gee I wonder why they lost the election. Couldn’t be that they continuously gaslight the public. Couldn’t be that they didn’t hold a primary (sorry but RFK Jr vanity run is not a primary). No, no. Voters just voted wrong!

    But don’t worry! We have to save dEmOcRaCy! Let’s just roll over and hand the power over to trump because he won fair and square and optics and politeness are more important than saving the country! You see, the democrat party doesn’t actually give a shit, if they were serious, they would have their own January 6th. They’re not serious. They’re gonna fundraise off of it. Just like roe v Wade!






  • Im visibly queer myself and gender nonconforming. Catering to 1% of the population and turning it into a wedge issue (trans people in prison getting taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgery - a ridiculous concept that affects maybe 100 people in a country of 330 million, thanks ACLU for the gotcha) is a great way to get trump re-elected because 1% of the blue no matter who voters get their panties in a twist if people won’t play their pronoun police games. Cis people wearing pronoun placards and putting their pronouns in their email signature is about as helpful to the queer cause as painting a fucking rainbow in the street. Do nothing feel good -ism.

    Pronouns and males in women’s sports are dumb wedge issues to lose an election over, just to cater to the precious feelings of 1% of the population. And now ALL of us queers are under threat.

    You know what helps queer people? Focusing on the insane cost of living crisis. and that’s a winning platform that doesn’t just focus on an insignificant cultural decadence issue but rather affects most of the population. But instead biden/Harris gaslit the public about inflation and now they’re blaming everybody but themselves for the loss.


  • Have you seen a clip of JD Vance talking about the east Palestine train wreck? It’s on muskrats shitter somewhere. He legit sounds like Bernie sanders when he talks about it.

    The parties are doing a really weird flip. Republicans are cosplaying being pro labor and are starting to say things that are going towards leftism, at least in the particular clip I’m referring to. He talks about the need for strong regulations against corporate America…



  • All the third party votes combined and given only to swing states would still end with trump winning.

    Wake the fuck up. The democrats lost because they fucking suck. stop blaming voters for your elitist out to brunch pathetic excuse of a political party that’s been gaslighting the public for four years about inflation telling us not to believe our own lying eyes and how great!!! the economy is doing I mean look at these numbers!!! But these people are the type who going to work means going golfing to rub shoulders with the rest of the elite. They’re fucking clueless.

    And they’re bleeding us dry with taxes while sending ALL of that money over to Israel and Ukraine. Meanwhile we have homeless starving people over here and they throw their hands up and say there’s no money. Fuck them and all their stupid ass brunch going laptop class never worked a real day in their life supporters too hung up on getting their pronouns right to actually come up with a platform that appeals to voters. “We’re not trump” is not a fucking platform. I hate trump but there is absolutely no question that these past four years I’ve been struggling far more economically under Biden than trump. Democrat party operatives too busy sniffing their own farts to read the fucking room.


  • Then point at the FAILED DEMOCRAT PARTY instead of voters. When biden announced he was running for re-election their own internal polling showed he’d lose. They don’t fucking care, it’s all theatre to them. Their corporate owners are happy and the donations continue to flow in from foolish rubes like you who will gladly vote blue no matter who right off a fucking cliff.

    Kamala Harris spent a billion dollars and still fucking lost. But yeah go blame voters that will ensure the same thing happens in 2028 should we be so lucky to pretend to play democracy again. And it is pretend. Because if you don’t vote correctly you’re the worst person to ever exist.
