I'm not banned yet because the admin's at least a bit sympathetic, but I sure as hell don't think 90% of the group's gonna want to speak to me after this. I told them I'm voting and campaigning for a 3rd party candidate who is anti-Israel and pro-trans and explained that I could not in good conscience vote for Biden after his blatant and willing complicity in genocide. Here are some of the arguments I encountered in response to that:

  • "Not voting for Biden makes it easier for Trump to win, and Trump will genocide trans people in addition to Palestinians. Therefore anything you do supports genocide, so you might as well support less genocide."
  • "Your trans friends will all know that you're functionally anti-trans." (I'm sure this would be a shock to my trans friends in my org, all of whom have made it clear they will also not vote for Biden)
  • "Trump would genocide Palestinians even harder."
  • "Biden wants to stop the genocide, but the Republicans won't let him."

Some choice quotes:

Have pride in your self centeredness, I guess.

Choosing someone who you know cannot win, especially as they're not the chosen candidate, is only symbolically different than choosing apathy.

It's just objectively how it works in this system. There is no non vote.

And it is most depressing your friends here at home are not important enough to check one box for.

And this:

[The Palestinian] genocide is going to happen regardless of the two. But the one that's happening here, that one can be stopped. And you refuse to do anything about it because you think you're so much better.

You're right about one thing, though. I do think I'm better than people who give their endorsement to running over Palestinian children with tanks.

And I'm better than people that choose two genocides at once, I guess. If we're ranking each other. I'd laugh if it wasn't stupid.

Wow. Just Wow. Beautiful site you have here. Absolutely gorgeous. We had a site like this. What a beautiful site it was... but the Democrats made us take it down. It's true!

My staff tells me you people hate the Democrats. Well then folks you're in great company. When I become president I will dismantle the crooked Democratic Party and Make America Great Again!

Now we had a great debate last night folks. The crooks and cowards at CNN tried to stop us from winning. The Democrats tried to stop us from winning. But we won, didn't we folks? We won the debate and sent Sleepy Joe home with tears running down his ugly face!

So to all the Patriots, Haters and Losers out there, Ask Me Anything! I'll be here all night folks! I'm Donald Trump!

I cannot get over this. Biden has destroyed an incomprehensible number of lives between the Crime bill, college debt and medical bills, the violence on the border, the extrajudicial assassinations and renditions, the genocides in Yemen and Gaza. What the fuck are liberals? What are they? Why don't they care about any of this? What the fuck? matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt

My brain i s just making whatever noise this picture of Matt is and it's been mkaing that noise for years. How can they just not care? How is this not real to them?
