But there were queer voices speaking for the campaign. There weren’t really trans people, even though there should have been. But there were definitely queer voices being out there. Also many many progessives campaigned for her as well. Fuckin hell Tim Waltz is an incredibly progressive governor and he was on the ticket.

As for Palestinian voices, sure. Those should have been there absolutely. But them not being there doesn’t somehow invalidate that there still was a coalition of people trying to join together to fight against Fascists.

That’s fair. People were definitely looking for any excuse.

This is something that really bothered me about the recent election. It was clear that Cheney was only campaigning with Harris because she wanted to stop Trump not because she agreed with the policies of Harris. She was still a believer in “Republican” policies but understood the danger of Trump winning and did what she could to make him lose.

The left then said that because she was being put out there by the Harris campaign as someone who would help get people to vote for her that must have meant she agreed with all of Harris’s policies. Which means Harris must have been a Republican and had all Republican policies despite her having multiple rather progressive policies that the majority of people support.

Instead of having the completely rational thought that if a shitty Republican like Cheney refuses to vote for Trump and says we should all vote against him then that’s a positive and should help convince independents and non voters that this was such an important election, they ignored that and made BS assumptions and accusations about the entire Harris campaign. It fucking sucked.

I got so fucking excited seeing this that I went to see if I could buy tickets only to find out that no, in fact, it is not the 10th anniversary this year. That it was the 10th anniversary and in theaters almost 2 years ago. I am now very disappointed.

How is saying we are deserving of human rights demanding the focus be on us? The only fucking reason we have been so in the news is solely because of the right trying to make our very care and existence in public illegal? Should we just say “we shouldn’t advocate for our rights until the Democrats win?” Because then what’s to stop the Democrats from “winning” by throwing trans people under the bus and saying we deserve to be ostracized? The left-ish party won in the UK and they’ve been shitty to trans people too.

We shouldn’t just stop fighting when people are literally trying to make us kill ourselves and to make our existence illegal. All democrats need to say is “Trans people are deserving of human rights, they should be treated like everyone else, should be allowed to have care and be accepted into society and do whatever anyone else can do. Now let’s get back to how I want to make it cheaper to live”.

We had a candidate in Harris who barely mentioned trans people and that allowed the right to go unchallenged in that area. You can’t just abandon or ignore us, a simple heartfelt defense is all that is necessary, have it in your platform, and then move on to the other more impactful for the rest of the populace policies.

Edit: we’ve been around for forever and only just recently been so present in the news because of the right wing. That’s not our want. We would rather be able to live and exist without the world looking on us as an “issue”.

Ah yes, very smart, let’s use a nuke to blow up a nuclear facility. There couldn’t possibly be a much larger explosion and spread of radiation because of that.
