      Gay people aren’t more important than Muslims

      It would seem that they are considerably less important than virtue signaling to Muslims for many voters, yes.

        Ah so we all need to respect your views, but when it comes to not wanting to support genocide label it virtue signaling.

        Liberals are so pathetic. I’m sure that condescending everyone you meet will win you tons of votes.

        You all spend so much time chasing fascist voters and then act so surprised when the fascists are suddenly legitimized by society.

          What I am not surprised about, at all, is that all the “don’t vote for her” people like yourself (apparently) are now claiming they are not in any way responsible for a fascist getting elected. It’s everyone else’s fault, but the person who literally said to not vote for the only other option than the fascist shares none of the blame.

          And if that isn’t you, you’re defending people who share the blame. Which, I would say, falls into the camp of ‘pathetic’ as well.

            Nah man, fascism is already here. If you, me, and the rest of the Democrats were willing to tolerate a genocide to keep a system enabling a genocide, then it can’t be denied. We weren’t delaying fascism, we just weren’t the current target of it and because of that, you couldn’t see it. We’re all fucked but it’s because of these exact attitudes that allowed dehumanization to be accepted.

          Not sure what else you’d call selling out queer folk to feel good about yourself.

            The DNC did that by running shit candidates back to back to back who either couldn’t defeat a blatant, moronic fascist or just barely beat him by the skin of their teeth with the aid of a massive pandemic and economic turmoil fresh in everyone’s mind. They sold out the whole country in favor of maintaining the status quo for their corporate masters and major donors.

          I will always condescend to bigots and fascists, and I’m proud to do it. If we don’t “chase” them, they’ll win permanently.

          I guess it’s easier to just roll over and pretend the biggest fascist of all is acceptable. That way you don’t have to admit that you made a bad decision, and you can spend the next four years savoring your moral victory and calling people “pathetic”. You’re awesome.

      But queer people domestically are apparently far less important than Muslims in another country.

      But I look forward to the people who told me “there won’t be a genocide of queer people” telling me that the genocide isn’t happening.

      They just shut put their hands over their eyes whenever I showed them this after all…

          Your response was a strawman. No one was saying anyone was more important than anyone else, you just tossed out that nonsense instead of trying to actually participate in a conversation.

          You don’t have an opposing position, you just want to be contrarian and make outrageous statemens, which is just a fancy way to say you’re a troll. Maybe it’s famous because a lot of people like you troll and get called out for that nonsense.
