      My state hasn't approved De la Cruz for the ballot, I could write her in. I'm not sure how busy I'll be that day though so it's hard to predict what I'll have time for.

        As a fellow nonbinary person, I'm disappointed you're willing to step aside and let fascists strip away rights of LGBTQIA minorities.

        I hope that De la Cruz vote works out for you.

          you mean the ones which have been eroded significantly with Biden in the white house?? huh, wow, let me think about that for half a second.....

          I hope that De la Cruz vote works out for you.

          hope voting for Hindenburg works out for you, Weimar German Liberal!

          Also why do you think I'm stepping aside and letting the fascists hurt minorities? You said nothing to substantiate that. You just said I was doing that. Care to explain?

            I won't, because you know why I said it.

            Go to a local queer munch and share these ideas with your fellow minorities, interested to hear your results.

            Meanwhile I'm voting for the party that doesn't want me dead.

            Good luck with that De la Cruz vote, I'm actually laughing super hard at that one, it's very clever.

              PSL also does not want you dead. I'm confused, I thought you wanted dialogue. I'm genuinely not sure what you mean. You can not believe me if you want but you haven't given any reason for what you're claiming.

                Alright then we can continue this new thread.

                Does the PSL have any chance of winning this year's election?

                Heck I didn't know De la Cruz was running in that party.

                EDIT: Apparently I was thinking of the De La Cruz people and Google have heard of (Elly, the baseball player), instead of Claudia De La Cruz, the socialist candidate I've never heard of in my life. I'm sure between now and November she'll figure out a way to clinch it.

                  They can win if you vote for them. I don't know how everybody is going to vote.

                  If we assume polling is an accurate indicator then depending on the state you live in voting at all is pointless because only one party will win.

                  Were you stepping aside and letting the fascists strip minority rights in 2020? Because they appear to be doing that currently, and presumably you voted for Joe who is president while that is happening.

              The majority of hexbears are queer... we're just substantially more politically educated than shitlib queers like you.

                I don't doubt that but your people skills are lacking if you change people's minds by calling them "shitlibs" and telling them you're substantially more educated than they are.

                A lot of people on these boards with your ideology but the 4chan baby talk and meme spam makes it hard to take you seriously.

                  Sorry, but I'm not going to be polite to assholes who try to claim the moral high-ground by repeatedly telling my comrades they don't care about minorities because they refuse to support the genocide of other minorities.

                  Why would I operate under the assumption that you're acting in good faith when you essentially tell us

                  "oh, you're refusing to vote for a person who actively is making the world a worse place for minorities? You must hate minorities."

                  You are a shitlib. And you will remain one until you self-crit and dismantle your current way of thinking. When that day happens, we'll welcome you as a comrade. But for now, you are not someone I can take seriously.

                    Our (realistic) options are unfortunately both going to lead to things continuing as they are in Gaza. But one of those options will be significantly worse for queer people in America.

                    You are a shitlib. And you will remain one until you self-crit and dismantle your current way of thinking.

                    Can you stop talking like you're terminally online for two seconds?

          What is your line, what would Kamala have to do or promise for you not to vote for her?

          For me it's promise to keep committing a genocide.

          If you're trans and not a communist you need to spend more time engaging with your fellow queers who are poor and working class. And read more Marx.
