    Ah so we all need to respect your views, but when it comes to not wanting to support genocide label it virtue signaling.

    Not sure what else you’d call selling out queer folk to feel good about yourself.

      Not at all. It’s frankly telling that you view this as some sort of zero-sum game, that we must sell out one minority or another. We all succeed or fail together; it’s why Muslim-Americans and LGBT groups have been working together politically for over 20 years. Despite that, it was still shocking to see how many LGBT people immediately tried to abandon Muslim voters because they thought it could help Biden/Harris win in swing states, and still bash them even now after the election. (Even though anti-trans ads played a much bigger role) You’re doing what you criticize others for even here and now.

      Hillary already tried this in 2016, throwing Muslim Americans and Arab Americans under the bus in order to boost her votes among conservatives and Republican voters. It failed, and Biden/Harris decided to try it again.

      The DNC did that by running shit candidates back to back to back who either couldn’t defeat a blatant, moronic fascist or just barely beat him by the skin of their teeth with the aid of a massive pandemic and economic turmoil fresh in everyone’s mind. They sold out the whole country in favor of maintaining the status quo for their corporate masters and major donors.
