Tim Walz defiantly defends trans people from Republicans' "demonizing" attacks - LGBTQ Nation
www.lgbtqnation.com
He took a bold stand and talked about how coming out can change our loved ones' politics.

“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

    And alienate a large part of their voting base weeks before the election? Yeah… No.

    I will wait for after they win before criticizing their Gaza plans. But until then, there are only two choices, and one of them has said that Biden is too hard on Netanyahu…

      Pro-genocide centrists are a valued constituency while anti-genocide progressives are not. You can tell by who the party listens to and who the party demands “blue no matter who” from.

              If you can’t make the basic choice to support the candidates that stand up against full-blown Fascism in this country, you are an inhibitor to progress.

              I’m voting for Harris. Keep ignoring it because you want to keep supporting genocide.

        Oh hey another username I keep seeing… Either you gotta start making new ones more often, or you need more than a couple people to manage all of these sockpuppet accounts.

        And… tagged.

        Good luck I guess…

          Wut? I’m a human. Why the fuck wooluld you think that just because I’m opposed to genocide that I must be a bot

          Do you not have the capacity for empathy?

        Unfortunately most Americans don’t even see this as genocide and see anything less than full support of Israel as a negative. Then of course there’s the huge bloc of hardcore Christians that think what Israel is doing is going to bring Jesus back. I imagine most of them are voting Republican anyway though.

          That’s absolutely not true. Most US Americans may not see it as genocide, but most are opposed to sending weapons to gaza

          Let’s be real. Most US Americans are ambivalent. Most are neither Zionist nor antizionist. But most do not support Israel.
