Do you know what is worse for queer people in the long run? Continuing to support the democrats. It stunts the ability for third parties to take hold in america. Parties that could actually represent minorities and fight for their rights. Because newsflash: the democrats don't give a single fuck if queers are rounded up and put in camps. They may pretend that's the case when republicans are in control (like they did with immigrants crossing the border) but when the time comes to actually push for legislation, or fight fascist policy, they can't seem to do a single fucking thing right.

Abortion rights continue to be stripped away under Democratic control. HRT continues to be banned in red states. POC continue to be disproportionately arrested due to the war on drugs, a series of policy decisions that Biden was one of the primary architects for, and simply legalizing cannabis (something biden refuses to do) would be a massive leap forward to fixing the problems he helped create. Many of the problems that you blame Republicans for, Democrats are equally responsible for causing.

It is in the Republicans best interest that Democrats remain the "opposition" party and in the democrats interest to maintain a strong Republican party. So they can scare fools like you into continuing to support them. Nancy Pelosi even talked about how "America needs a strong Republican party" and the dems continue to boost far right candidates because they wrongly believe they'd be easy targets to win elections against. All they're doing is giving fascist ideas a bigger platform. The main reason that Trump even won the 2016 election is because the "democratic" controlled media apparatus kept giving him attention!

Don't get me started on Kamala. Started her political career as a prosecutor throwing people in jail, namely parents over truancy. It takes a true Sociopath to want to throw parents in jail for their kids ditching school. You want me to vote for that bitch? Go fuck yourself.
