  • What you’re seeing is gallows humor.

    I’m trans. Trump is going to win. The shooter (who was a registered Republican, by the way) has guaranteed that. I’m fucked. My whole community is fucked. We all know that. And the only way many of us aren’t sobbing uncontrollably is by dark humor like this.

  • Leftists: “Republicans want to issue 1m licenses to kill gay people, we have to stop them!”

    Liberals: “Well we only want to issue 999,999 licenses, we’re not as bad as Republicans so you have to vote for us”

  • Nope, De la Cruz will not win, I’m not stupid. But if my vote for Biden is going to get overridden by others in my state, I might as well vote for the person I actually agree with.

    And I have never told anyone not to vote for Biden. I’ve presented why I am not voting for Biden. But most people on here seem hell-bent that anyone criticizing Biden must be a fascist Trump plant.

  • It’s because if they challenge the narrative at all, they get cut out of coverage in the future. Then the other for-profit media outlets have coverage they won’t have access to and they’ll lose viewership.

    It’s why something like the BBC can push candidates like they can, because if you cut out the BBC then you’ve cut out any televised national coverage in the UK. Here if ABC decides to really go after a narrative then Republicans still have Fox, NBC, CBS, etc

  • Oh, I don’t disagree with you. But understand that sitting in a place where a national election has an effect on you is a privilege. Project 2025 is already becoming a reality in my state, and there’s nothing that’s going to stop it. Trump, Biden, doesn’t matter to me. I’m gonna sound like a doomer, but queer people in my state like me are already fucked. And Democrats at the state level can’t do anything because Republicans have supermajorities in both legislative houses and they hold the governorship. My state will go for Trump. My vote for president will not matter. It’s gonna be third party (probably socialist). Don’t tell me I “have to vote for Biden”, I’ve made my calculation too.

  • People keep saying this like people just started attacking Biden. I’ve been saying this since December 2020. A lot of people have.

    And I’ve said this before: Republicans have a supermajority in my state. The national elections don’t make a lick of difference to me because even if Biden is elected, Project 2025 is coming to my state. And Biden won’t stop it. There aren’t many national Democrats that will. Like you know what they did with abortion in 2021? Yea, nothing.

    That being said, I’m not advocating for people not voting. I think every single person who is eligible should vote whether I agree with their vote for not. I just refuse to vote against my own best interest, and that includes Biden.
