    And what happens when team blue decides your minority group is an acceptable sacrifice, as they’re currently doing for trans people?

    The vast majority of Dem politicians remain in support of trans issues.

    They already threw the Palestinian Americans on the pyre, and they’re going for trans folks next.

    The Dems have supported Palestinian genocide for at least the past forty fucking years. In that time, Dems have improved markedly on trans issues.

    It’s not as simple as you want it to be, but since simplicity would absolve you of your actual, real complicity in both the genocide of Palestinians and the additional crimes and genocides of the Trump administration, you crave simplicity.

    The problem with looking the other way when some other group is thrown under the bus is that inevitably your ticket will be called.

    You’re absolutely right, this is why the civil rights movement should have refused all participation in American politics until LGBT rights were established as well.

    By your logic, the Dems should have been throwing an ever-greater number of minorities under the bus since… what, the entire 20th century? Yet demonstrably, they have become more minority-positive, not less. I guess facts don’t matter when you have fascists to carry water for, though, huh?

    I just can’t understand this hubris and arrogance. You actually expect people to vote for their own annihilation.

    “Please vote for less annihilation.”

    “Actually, I’d prefer more.”

    Sorry for finding self-destructive behavior that damages others as well both repugnant and strategically idiotic?

    But sure, tell me how the Harris admin would have been more-destructive or even simply as-destructive towards Arab and Muslim-American communities than the fucking Trump admin, I’m dying to hear about how opting for the fascist was the real act of self-preservation.
