    I don’t know what to think about people claiming to be LGBT+ allies who would even remotely entertain not voting Harris… as the risk to the people they say they want to protect is domestic as well. This is a palestinians lose or everyone lose waaaayyyyy worse kinda deal … so yeah… apparently ideals don’t matter that much.

      I’m sorry but if you believe you can only be gay if brown people get genocided you’re not gay and you just want to kill children.

      If someone is willing to genocide anyone, then they’ll come for you eventually too. Nazis didn’t start their genocide with Jews.

        Stick your strawman. Brown people dying is not a precondition… I did not imply that at all. It’s that more people will suffer and die if trump is not defeated. It’s like saying Hitlers opponent was also bad… yeah maybe… but he’s not advocating fascism.

          Genocide and support for genocide is fascism. Harris is advocating for fascism.

          If they’re willing to fully fund the elimination of Palestinians, they wont stop when they are gone. You might not be next on the list, but you’re on the list, we all are under a genocidal government.

      I’m literally queer both in terms of sexuality and gender 💀💀 and am against genocide precisely bc of my principles (though I don’t live in the US)

      bc choosing to support the “lesser of two evils” since they won’t target you domestically is lacking any and all backbone. “The dems can have a little genocide, as a treat. After all, they protect minorities in the 'civilised west” and that is the only place that counts" (not putting words in your mouth, just that this is what the position essentially boils down to)

        Such a short sighted take. Arguably making the world less safe for everyone cause you can’t have it all. Keep doing Putin’s work. But at least you don’t get to vote in the US elections.

          Why are all your arguments “if you don’t do X you’re doing Y”?

          Has the two-party system defeated you so much that you can’t see anything but binary choices? It’s been decades of being forced to choose between two bad choices and you’ve been choosing a bad option every time, on the promise of a better one next election. But you’re never going to get an alternative if you just keep voting for the lesser of two evils every 4 years.

          And I hope the Putin comment is just that and not a xenophobic dogwhistle because their name is in Cyrillic…
