Well, I disagree. Lesser-evilist ideology that calls for sacrificing the Palestinians today will call for sacrificing trans people tomorrow, and like you say, other LGBT people next. To accept it is to accept that I will be put on the chopping block and no one will care or do anything to stop it, and it's just a matter of time. Enforcing a red line is the only possible way to ensure long-term security. If you say it won't work, then I may die trying, but I'd rather do that than resign myself to death the other way and be complicit in my own demise. That's all there is to it. I understand the situation and I've made my decision and I'm not going to change it, unless they come to the table.
I'm not calling for the sacrificing of Palestinians.
You don't have long term security with this approach. Because Trump won't give a flying fuck whether you force the DNC to act better. Trump is your security risk.
Allowing Trump to get power will be what makes you complicit in your own demise.
They will never come to the table in time. You'll/we'll be dead before then.
