      Gay people aren’t more important than Muslims

      It would seem that they are considerably less important than virtue signaling to Muslims for many voters, yes.

        Ah so we all need to respect your views, but when it comes to not wanting to support genocide label it virtue signaling.

        Liberals are so pathetic. I’m sure that condescending everyone you meet will win you tons of votes.

        You all spend so much time chasing fascist voters and then act so surprised when the fascists are suddenly legitimized by society.

          They just do not care about other people, so the suffering of one minority or another isn’t important to them.

          Frankly, they were more irritated that these minority groups exist in the first place since they get in the way of whatever political goal they have. It’s like the movie Don’t Look Up, where the president says that this asteroid or comet or whatever is so inconvenient for her because she was going to spend the summer having a political fight over Supreme Court nominations and can’t they just push this extinction-level-event crisis back to another time, like the fall or after the midterms?

          Not sure what else you’d call selling out queer folk to feel good about yourself.

            Not at all. It’s frankly telling that you view this as some sort of zero-sum game, that we must sell out one minority or another. We all succeed or fail together; it’s why Muslim-Americans and LGBT groups have been working together politically for over 20 years. Despite that, it was still shocking to see how many LGBT people immediately tried to abandon Muslim voters because they thought it could help Biden/Harris win in swing states, and still bash them even now after the election. (Even though anti-trans ads played a much bigger role) You’re doing what you criticize others for even here and now.

            Hillary already tried this in 2016, throwing Muslim Americans and Arab Americans under the bus in order to boost her votes among conservatives and Republican voters. It failed, and Biden/Harris decided to try it again.

            The DNC did that by running shit candidates back to back to back who either couldn’t defeat a blatant, moronic fascist or just barely beat him by the skin of their teeth with the aid of a massive pandemic and economic turmoil fresh in everyone’s mind. They sold out the whole country in favor of maintaining the status quo for their corporate masters and major donors.

          I will always condescend to bigots and fascists, and I’m proud to do it. If we don’t “chase” them, they’ll win permanently.

          I guess it’s easier to just roll over and pretend the biggest fascist of all is acceptable. That way you don’t have to admit that you made a bad decision, and you can spend the next four years savoring your moral victory and calling people “pathetic”. You’re awesome.

      Good news! To the Republicans neither are important and they would gladly see both groups disappear, so a vote for them and a refusal to vote for the Democrats was just support for both Muslim AND LGBTQ+ genocide! Good job everyone!

          Affect.

          And no, it won’t affect me, I’m a white CIS hereto guy living outside the USA.

          I hope you sleep comfortably knowing that your protest vote or non vote will result in the death of more Muslims. I guess they’re not important to you either.

            What other languages do you speak?

            But no, it doesn’t stop with the US, and if it’s not stopped no where will be safe for you either. Mostly cis white men died in the Holocaust.

              French is my first language.

              I’m not Jewish either, as a baptized Catholic you don’t have to worry, I’m safe, unlike those Muslims and LGBTQ+ and Ukrainians and so many more which you’ve condemned to genocide. Hell, even blacks, Latinos, first Nations and Arabs inside the US are in even more danger than they were because of people who didn’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils or who voted for the Republicans to “teach the Democrats a lesson”.

              Well that lesson will be taught at the expense of a whole lot of minorities and foreigners so fuck you, especially since you recognize that you just made the whole fucking world more dangerous for everyone.

                  You’re the one who supported a far right lunatic and who tries to make yourself feel good by pretending that your choices don’t have consequences on yourself and others. Stop blaming others and act like a fucking adult, presented with a choice between two options you chose the one that would make things worse for the people you pretend you want to protect. You cut your nose to spite your face and now you’re in front of the mirror pretending it was all worth it because you can’t admit to yourself that your decision just made things worse.

                  Good luck with your deportation, hopefully you don’t get sent somewhere to die so you get to learn a lesson.

                  Edit: Aaaw, you’re mad and you’re downvoting all my previous messages, cute!

          Your response was a strawman. No one was saying anyone was more important than anyone else, you just tossed out that nonsense instead of trying to actually participate in a conversation.

          You don’t have an opposing position, you just want to be contrarian and make outrageous statemens, which is just a fancy way to say you’re a troll. Maybe it’s famous because a lot of people like you troll and get called out for that nonsense.
