No. The queer community should help educate people like me on candidates who support your cause so we can get behind them. You’re arguing with me instead of teaching me how I can help your cause. Help us defeat Newsom.

It's not the queer community's job to educate you.
If they want me to vote for candidates they support, it is quite literally their job to educate people on those candidates they approve of instead of just fighting online. Who do you support as a potential candidate? I’d love to throw support behind them.
Nah bitch you're just demanding that marginalized people do the work of fighting their own oppression while you sit back and do fuck all. You use your brain and figure out which politicians don't want to murder trans and unhoused people. I believe in you
How do you think marginalized people have gained rights over time? By fighting the oppressors. Yet, I support your cause and you fight with me instead of telling how I can help advance the cause. I’m asking how to help and your response is fuck off. That’s how you lose.
I'm telling you that demanding marginalized people do the work you're easily capable of doing yourself is not ally shit. You're a lazy dumbass
I’m a lazy dumbass but you’re unwilling to even say how I can help advance your cause? You don’t really want to fight. You just want to complain about other people not doing enough but you won’t even say how we can help.
I've made it pretty clear that the way you can advance the cause is support candidates that are pro-trans rights, not anti. You can figure it out from there, I believe in you
I’ve made it pretty clear that I understand that I can advance the cause by supporting candidates who are pro-trans rights, not anti. You can’t even name one candidate for me to put my support behind. You want to sit back and have people fight for you when you won’t even name candidates you support.
It shouldn't be hard for you to figure out what candidates for elections you can vote in are pro trans. You have your job, go do it
Got it. So you want me to do 100% of the work to advance your cause while you sit at home and complain that we’re not doing enough. Loser mentality. Keep fighting with your supporters.
No, I want you to do the bare minimum of knowing what your candidates support
Yet you’re unwilling to do the bare minimum by naming candidates. Pot, meet kettle.
lol give me a break
There’s that winning spirit.
you do not know how to win
Show me where trans people have won. Is alienating supports a winning strategy?
Certainly didn’t win under Biden. In fact, I’d say he and his party alienated supporters. Is that a winning strategy?
You have shown no interest in being a good ally
I support trans people having equal rights. Instead of offering to educate people like me on how we can better support the trans community and which candidates best support the cause, you argue and call me a bad ally. How does that advance your cause? Learn how to win. Not fight with allies.
Nah
Well, while you might not want my support for the trans community, I’m still going to support you. Even if you’re a dick. But, unlike you, I won’t abandon every other community if I don’t get 100% of what I want from the democratic nominee.
You’ve shown no interest is advancing your cause or helping other marginalized people. Saying you wouldn’t vote for someone if 100% of your demands aren’t met means you’re willing to abandon EVERY cause and person you claim to support.
"Don't agree with MAGA about my rights" is laughably far from 100% of my demands. bsky.app/profile/lady...

That’s not true, though
If you support a free Palestinian state, Medicare for all, increasing minimum wage, etc. and the Democratic nominee doesn’t align with your stance on trans people’s rights, so you decide to not vote, you are actively giving up support on all those other causes. So, yes, it is true.
Hilarious to bring up Palestine while defending a guy that cracked down on pro-palestine protesters
You do remember who was president as our country funded and facilitated a genocide a year ago, right? You do remember the Dems decided not to raise the minimum wage because the parliamentarian didn’t like it, yeah? wtf are you talking about
I do. And I didn’t vote for that president in the primary. Newsom sucks, but minimum wage is one of the worst points you can bring up since they raised the minimum wage in California.
The parliamentarian isn’t going away just because Gavin gets elected, ya doofus
…you’re wanting the queer community to hold your hand and take you step by step for a party that couldn’t even support a trans speaker at the DNC while pushing someone who endorsed KOSA? Ya need to fix your party and give people reason to even consider them again that doesn’t end in further erasure.
“Lesser evil” is still a fight, and it’s clear that such a fight has been ignored as leading Dem party figures continue to endorse genocide, praise ICE, and platform anti-trans rhetoric from MAGA extremists. The direction of the Dem Party is not one of coalition with the queer community.
Do your own fucking work, you ignorant piece of boulder.
The queer community doesn’t owe you an education on shit. It is YOUR responsibility to educate yourself on how to best be a true ally. But I’ll give you a hint at how to start: don’t vote for transphobes. Period.
It is YOUR responsibility to educate people on causes YOU support and want ti progress. That’s literally your fucking job if you truly care about your causes. Did MLK, John Lewis, Thurgood Marshall, etc. refuse to educate people during the civil rights movement?
