    Hey, if you’d rather have the Republicans open fascists in power, you do you. I question your survival instincts, but still. I just hope you’re just a tiny vocal minority, otherwise we might be all fucked. Or, if you’re not a vocal minority… well, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

    We’ll see I guess.

        I love it. It doesn’t matter that Biden has consistently supported trans rights with tangible action during his administration, trans people are still under attack, so it’s Literally All The Same. Like people who ask why there are still fires if there are firefighters.

          The tangible actions he waited until his final year of the term to enact, that are instantly being challenged by states. That’s not consistent and it’s hardly tangible. You’re not going to tell me that my own struggles are worth ignoring a genocide.

            So which is it? He hasn’t done anything or he waited too long in his term? How does any of this even compare to the other guy??? Sometimes I wonder if you guys are smoking shrooms because you make no sense

                Even if it was “barely anything” which is not true, how is the alternative better? Address the points without the unnecessary banter.

                  A token display of support that you know will be annulled, and thus have no consequences, is meaningless. Just keep on speaking for minority groups who dare question Democrat orthodoxy and its tokenism, I’m sure that’ll endear you to them eventually.

                  Honestly there is no amount of support for trans rights that he could do that would make me overlook Biden’s support of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Spain just vowed to turn away ships at their ports carrying weapons for Israel and recognize Palestine as a state. The United States is continuing to send bombs, and the only action that has been taken is … threatening to send smaller bombs. It’s absolutely disgusting, and this is what Biden is doing. I am horrified.

            It’s funny. I’ve had this song and dance before. When I break out previous actions towards guaranteeing trans rights, it immediately shifts from “It was too late in his term” to “Well it wasn’t enough”.
