The guys who've spent the last year telling the democrats "You need to stop the genocide and promote popular left policy if you want to win" are not responsible for the dems loss. The dems are responsible for their own loss for ignoring the obvious advice of "stop doing the thing that made you lose in 2022 and 2016 and 2010 and 2004 and instead do the thing that made you win in 2008 and 2020"
It's particularly gross to suggest a predominantly trans instance wanted a trump presidency.
I agree that it's the Democrats' fault that they lost, but I stand by the assertion that people who would rather not vote at all than vote for the lesser of two evils are partially to blame when the greater of two evils wins.
I didn't say they wanted a Trump presidency, I said they didn't want a Harris presidency. I only congratulated them on their efforts to prevent that.
The people saying "Genocide, punishing immigrants, tough-on-crime rhetoric, and complicated, means-tested bullshit decreases your bases turnout" are not at fault for those unpopular policies decreasing turnout. Everyone who failed to publicly criticize the dems so they could maintain the delusion they could win while promising to do the opposite of what the people whose votes they depend on want are far more culpable.
No, the people who decided not to vote because the better candidate wasn't better enough are to blame
I can agree both those things happened, but you're saying one of them had a much stronger effect and so far i'm not seeing any evidence presented
Trans people voted for Harris, overwhelmingly. The problems were with white guys with a weird stick up their ass trying to convince everyone else not to vote to protect us. Good work I guess, you got what you wanted.
Nobody was telling people not to vote Harris, there's a difference between that and telling the dems that the policies and messaging they adopted from the Republican's 2016 platform were wildly unpopular and will not win the election.
And if the dems successfully ignore and silence all criticism from the left, they're going to do the same shit in 2026 and 2028.
One time, drag's friend accidentally left his fly open in public. Drag wanted to save him the embarassment of having it open, and drag knew exactly what to do to help him.
So drag got up in front of everyone in the bar, shouted that the friend's fly was open, and shared some dank memes making fun of him.
Drag's friend claims that nobody from that night respects him anymore and drag is a terrible friend, but that's nonsense. He's the one who left his fly open, drag was just helping him avoid embarrassment.
If Drag spent 4 years telling Drag's buddy "Zip up your fly, or you're going to be thrown out", and instead drag's friend shows his Dick to everyone at the bar, it's not Drag's fault. Nor is it the fault of everyone else at the bar for being repelled.
If Drag's friend thinks everyone would have been OK with him flashing non-consenting people, and that Drag simply convinced everyone this was repellent behavior, that's even more reason to listen to Drag.
Drag doesn't use he/him. You don't have to misgender trans fembys and accuse them of having penises in order to make your political point.
Drag talking about someone else who uses he/him pronouns is not a good reason to he/him drag. And it is NEVER okay to sexualise and talk about the supposed genitals of random strangers you just met.
This is impressively bad reading comprehension. Drag is the one making fun of the person with their fly open. I can't even hazard a guess as to how you mixed up the subjects like that
I mean I can't expect much from a .ml in the first place, but still
You are a disgusting liar.
I am realizing I mixed up Drag and Drag's friend in the story.
Don't delete your comments please. If anything, edit appropriately. Your point stands, and the witch burning bandwagon is a serious inability to look within and take accountability.
I fixed it 4 hours ago on my end, but lemmy.ml is slow with updating other instances right now.
There's no bandwagon, just the person correctly angry about being misgendered, and Drag's alt.
Delete your comments please. And pay attention next time you talk about a stranger's genitals.
Bad! It's bad of you to sexualise trans enbies! Sexually harassing your opponent is not an argument!
It was an honest mistake, I mixed up drag and drag's friend in the story.
It has been fixed now
Drag thinks you replied to the wrong comment
I did I am so sorry
