Is the only option unrestrained enthusiasm for a candidate that isn't interested in protecting my rights? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago* (8 children) You can be what ever you want, but trump might not be in office right now if the same thing wasn’t going on with people condemning Harris for not being anti Israel, loudly, when there were only two options left. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] dubs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 6 days ago Or maybe Harris shouldn't have taken unpopular stances on easy-to-win topics.

As a bonus, it's exactly what someone trying to ruin our democracy would say. Funny that there's no shortage of those on the internet, a place where it's much harder to tell that you're a Russian bot. Edit to add: As the votes come in to indicate most people are misinterpreting this comment, it's now more of a writer issue than a reader issue. I'll clarify: The constant droning I was referring to above is the voter apathy encouraging "Democrats suck too, therefore I'm not voting for them either," not the valid complaints that Democrats aren't doing enough for trans people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] TRAHR 4 points 6 days ago* (2 children) Trans people are not Russian bots because we care about our rights being stripped or being insulted to our faces by our representatives.
