    What you have said to me so far was that Cornel West has a chance because he has 3% of the vote and that I should ask someone instead of saying they don’t give a shit about queer people.

    The first is a laughably ignorant understanding of statistics, polling and elections. The second is just laughable.

    You have told other people, however, to vote for West or Stein. Neither of which has a statistically likely chance of winning. Something very unusual would have to happen for them to win. So instead of stopping the coming queer genocide, you think people should vote for an almost guaranteed loser.

    You don’t give a shit about queer people and neither does your buddy.

            A absolutely can determine that you don’t give a shit about queer people.

            It is obvious that none of this concerns you enough to act on it:

            At CPAC in 2023, Daily Wire host Michael Knowles gave a speech where he said, “Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” In response to people who said that he was calling for genocide, Knowles stated that “nobody [was] calling to exterminate anybody”.[25] As part of his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to stop gender-affirming care for minors, calling it “child mutilation.”[26] Project 2025, a document outlining intended conservative policies, called “purveyors” of “transgender ideology[. . .]child predators and misogynistic exploiters of children.”[27] Project 2025 conflates transgender people with pornography, and calls for pornography to be outlawed, for teachers and librarians who talk about transgender people to be imprisoned, and all telecommunications that allows transgender people to talk on it to be shuttered.[28]

            Some US laws have been described, including by journalists Emily St. James and Katelyn Jones, as meeting criteria mentioned in the United Nations definition of genocide, including laws banning gender-affirming care (“causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”), and those allowing child protective services to pursue child abuse claims against the parents of children receiving gender-affirming care and remove said children (“forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”).[33][34]

            If you gave a shit about queer people, you would be doing everything in your power to keep Republicans out of office, including their presidential candidate to stop this genocide.

            But this isn’t a convenient genocide for you to accuse people of supporting, this is a genocide of “icky” people. So that’s an acceptable genocide.

            Because you don’t give a shit about queer people.

                  >Sorry… you don’t think voting for Biden is an effective way to stop Trump and the Republicans from implementing project 2025?

                  no. the republicans will work toward that no matter how i vote, and biden has been in power in washington for the 50 years that lead to the current state. i don’t believe voting for him will stop any of it.
