The trans people are crying (lemmy.nz)

Drag has spent all day in voice chat with drag's trans friends in America and now they're crying. They're going to die if they don't pack up their entire lives and never see their family again, and they don't even know how to financially accomplish that. No matter what happens, their lives as they know them are over, and they're going to suffer. They thought they had more time. They thought Harris was going to win. Now they know that if they can't get out, they're going to be murdered. They're scared and sad and they're crying.

Fuck every single person who contributed to this. Drag's friends didn't deserve this. Whatever fascist agenda made anyone think this was an okay outcome, fuck them. This is not okay!

How could anyone with a heart vote for someone openly defend unconditional support for mass murder of children?

If you only oppose genocide when the politician is nice to you, you’re not a leftist.

Not sure who you are talking about here. People who refused to vote for genocide regardless of the candidate aren't conditionally against genocide: that's the people voting for Harris. The same people who told trans people to shut up for pointing out the record lack of representation or support by the Harris campaign compared to other recent campaigns. Those aren't people who are going to do anything to protect trans people. They just wouldn't actively target them, so at least blue states would be relatively safe unlike what we got.

Harris threw the election. The Harris campaign is responsible for their own campaign and the DNC is responsible for picking such an historically unpopular candidate for their candidate without even getting input from voters.

Kamala was less popular as VP among democrats than Trump was as president among republicans. Yeah. Trump is awful. Unfortunately he has a base of awful people who favor that. Emulating that behavior doesn't make someone popular among people who'd vote democrat.

I'd love to go away from this country and especially from this state. Probably should have done it back when Biden announced he was running for a second term.
