Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!

    I'm going to be honest, as the cynical communist bi guy who has been harping on this for years now, that 'time' that advertising bought us was during the Trump presidency, when liberals woke the fuck up for five seconds and smelled what was cooking. They identified all the wrong reasons, but it was during that time that you could make the most difference organizing.

    There still could be time, but the prime time to organize is when the opposition is in charge but doesn't have their shit together.

      Post-COVID (lol) organizing has been bonkers for me personally, I've never seen so many Biden voters start to want their money back and enter the pipeline. I view Biden as the opposition, and I know you do too, but I think you're not giving enough credit to the ever-radicalizing liberals who are actually starting to peel back the layers. I think more progressives than ever are viewing Biden as opposition.

        Doubtful. My bet is that they will still vote for him and any associated lackeys when push comes to shove, we just aren't quite in the middle of the election season propoganda cycle.

        Maybe it will be different this time. But we say that every time and it never is.

          oh I mean no doubt, they're still going to vote for him, but more of them are gonna be mad about it than ever before, and they're going to be looking for an outlet for that anger. They have too many marginalized friends (or they are marginalized) to swing right about it, and there's only one other way to swing.

          🤞
