Drag has spent all day in voice chat with drag’s trans friends in America and now they’re crying. They’re going to die if they don’t pack up their entire lives and never see their family again, and they don’t even know how to financially accomplish that. No matter what happens, their lives as they know them are over, and they’re going to suffer. They thought they had more time. They thought Harris was going to win. Now they know that if they can’t get out, they’re going to be murdered. They’re scared and sad and they’re crying.
Fuck every single person who contributed to this. Drag’s friends didn’t deserve this. Whatever fascist agenda made anyone think this was an okay outcome, fuck them. This is not okay!
I am so very sorry, Drag. I can’t believe my country made this choice. I am so afraid. I am so disappointed. I am so angry. I am so sad.
I hope Drag’s friends are ok. I wish I knew what to tell myself and my friends to do, too.
I agree. Fuck the establishment Democrats. Fuck the astroturf bots and genocide supporters. We need a need left party that isn’t full of corporate cucks.
A true left party would have lost as well, unfortunately.
No they wouldn’t have. You saw the polls when Kamala picked Tim Walz. The people wanted popular progressive policies. The donor-class establishment messaging that followed is precisely why they lost.
Maybe so. Doesn’t matter now, i guess.
It absolutely matters. If Democrats don’t learn anything from this, which I doubt that they will, it will be the same thing in 4 more years.
It will be the same thing again in 4 more years. This wasn’t even the first time they’ve done this.
They’re going to die if they don’t pack up their entire lives and never see their family again
Hopefully that’s hyperbolic. Not saying its impossible (my state in particular has been building databases of trans people and definitely not for trans people’s benefit). Unfortunately, there’s a sizable chunk of the population who wanted trans people to suffer more.
They thought Harris was going to win.
Its a campaign that has been running on “fuck you, we don’t need your vote” messaging from day 1 towards some of its most loyal voting demographics. The fact that some where projecting it to be even been close was a miracle and was based on a great overestimation of turnout. Its not like Trump did significantly better than 2020.
