    Those laws all suck and they’re along the same vein as the laws that Biden had voted for and supported in the past (ie doma, 10450, dadt).

    The definition of genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular group with the aim of destroying that group; and nothing you have shared matches that description.

      The definition of genocide is not that simple. If it were, you must think Palestinian genocide started in 2023. I hope you don’t. That would also suggest that the Trail of Tears was not a genocide. I also hope you are not going to make that argument.

      And you already said Biden won’t do anything to oppress queer people because the base doesn’t want him to. So you are saying that not committing genocide is the same as committing genocide while denying genocide. Excellent job. I’m not sure why you won’t admit that queer genocide is just not that big a deal to you because that’s what you keep dancing around.

        i got so high earlier tonight that it felt like it was the first time for too brief of a moment.

        i realized that the shit biden put me through sucked and that i wouldn’t wish it on anyone and now i have an infinitesimally small chance of helping make sure that it doesn’t happen to anyone else. plus it helps the progress made last a little bit longer this time around the world’s historical political pendulum. it’s not the right decision, but it’s also not the wrong one… the wrong one will recreate what i had to go through for others.

        i think i need to get high more often; it would be a lot easier to do if sugar free and delicious edibles were a thing.
