    Biden is doing nothing of the sort and Biden is not doing that to queer people. You’re just lying to provide cover for Trump now.

      the immigration thing is literally in the news right now.

      doing anything negative to queer people would make him lose votes with the democratic base, so he doesn’t; just like he’s done in the past.

      i will not vote for trump

        Sorry… you’re arguing that doing nothing to hurt queer people because the base doesn’t want him to is fascism now?

          sexual liberation and identity has fallen in and out of favor in american hegemony before and it will happen again; go ahead and keep moving that goal post.

            I don’t have to move a goalpost between ‘genocide’ and ‘not genocide.’ All you’re saying to me here is that the queer genocide candidate that will also support the Palestinian genocide is fine, but the one not participating in a genocide of queer people is bad.

              I’m not supporting either candidate and there is no queer genocide in the United States nor will there be; speaking in hyperbole makes you seem unhinged and I want to trade ideas w someone who speaks in facts.

                  Those laws all suck and they’re along the same vein as the laws that Biden had voted for and supported in the past (ie doma, 10450, dadt).

                  The definition of genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular group with the aim of destroying that group; and nothing you have shared matches that description.

                    The definition of genocide is not that simple. If it were, you must think Palestinian genocide started in 2023. I hope you don’t. That would also suggest that the Trail of Tears was not a genocide. I also hope you are not going to make that argument.

                    And you already said Biden won’t do anything to oppress queer people because the base doesn’t want him to. So you are saying that not committing genocide is the same as committing genocide while denying genocide. Excellent job. I’m not sure why you won’t admit that queer genocide is just not that big a deal to you because that’s what you keep dancing around.
