That’s funny, all my other principles stem from the belief that intrinsically all people are entitled to the same rights, not just the few who are deemed worthy at whatever given political moment. If the DNC decides to put forth a candidate who does not share that value, i will not vote for them
And that’s your right. But don’t act like you give a fuck about any other marginalized groups if you’re willing to sacrifice them for your personal benefit. That’s the same thing you’re accusing me of doing. Pot 🤝 Kettle
Oh man you wish so bad that you were right, to absolve yourself for you guilt or something? Nah man, we’re not the same… but you can get there if you grow a soul and a spine 👍
I have no guilt to absolve in this matter. I’m not the one willing to make ALL people suffer. You are. Hopefully, you can live with that guilt if it comes down to it. And I hope it doesn’t. But I know I can live with my choices because they don’t involve abandoning EVERYONE for my self interests.
Oh ok you only want to sacrifice people you think are lesser, just like Dems told us all we had to sacrifice Palestinians to Joe Biden's bigoted cassock-sniffer Zionist bloodlust
Haha keep trying to justify your eager willingness to bargain away the rights of some vulnerable people to save your own quality of life, you sociopath!
If you’re going to be a manipulative narcissist, at least spice it up a little bit
Also I’m not trans, I’m a old cis dad in Seattle who cares enough about my neighbors that I would NEVER VOTE FOR GAVIN NEWSOM - even though that might not be in my immediate best interests Because I know whose side I’m on and what my values are. If the DNC did too, it would reign for 1000 years
This was all based on a hypothetical. In this hypothetical, I’m not willing to abandon ALL people should Newsom win the nomination. You clearly are. That’s fine. We can disagree. It’s your choice to abandon your other “values” if one is not met. But don’t call yourself an ally.
If you got your ass beat for saying these things I wouldn't help you fyi
You're not going to defeat Fascism by throwing minorities under the bus. Universal rights are universal or they're nothing at all. Solidarity.
You’re also not going to defeat fascism by allowing Republicans to remain in power. Refusing to vote for an imperfect Democrat supports the ongoing Republican efforts to implement fascism here and abroad.
Anyways you’re not going to defeat Republicans by running Gavin Newsom and you’ve been given 3 years warning. If you really care about winning the election you’ll tell everyone you meet to not support Gavin
If I was worried about not having a Republican in power then why would I vote for Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law’s ex-husband? Why are my only two choices a-1980s style Republican or an oranger 1980s style Republican
Again, those aren’t your only choices currently. We have no idea who the choices will be. Parker made Newsom the nominee in her hypothetical which is where this all started.
She said “as a human being with morals I won’t vote for Newsom” and you said “then you support Trump” what you could have done is keep your mouth shut and not exposed yourself as an amoral narcissist who’s cool with bigotry as long as it’s not directed at you and you can get back to brunch
You’re obsessed with brunch. Has no one ever invited you to brunch and that’s why you continue bringing it up? What she said is that she’s willing to abandon every other cause if one of that causes that impacts her directly isn’t met. I, accurately, pointed out that not voting enables Republicans.
As does nominating illiberal candidates.
You're not going to defeat it by voting for other people who are also funded by the same fascist oligarchs. We don't care whether fascists wear blue or red we're not going to support them. Time to choose someone who isn't fascist and who doesn't accept funds from oligarchs.
