As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn’t designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they’re pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I’m legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden’s doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people’s existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn’t complete dogshit

    I really wish you would stop with the hyperbolic calls for mass death because as an autistic person I cant read them and just get upset at all the killing I think you want to do. Killing everyone who has EVER voted Democrat is a looot of people, especially since most of this site are ex-libs lol (demographic surveys bare this out).

    To me its an accesabiltiy issue. I technically understand you’re being hyperbolic but my auitsm just sees calls for mass death that I find absurd, unhelpful, and redioculous and I want to respond in that way. I wrote up a massive rant that I deleted off advice from a friend but I still want to express this.

      Then block me, but don’t you ever police my goddamn tone again. I have to live in a bullshit world of crackers that exterminates people like me on a daily goddamn basis ALREADY, never goddamn mind the hypothetical camps people like Those redditors anticipate. Now, I don’t know who tf you think you are; but it sure as shit isn’t kin enough to me for me to NOT see this as the same liberal optics shell games crackers have been trying to make me play for 15 years.

        Is an autistic person asking for accessibility really tone policing to you? Like are we just going to throw intersection out the window here? I can make an effort to understand that you’re being hyperbolic and will. But like, I dont like that the concerns that I have as an autistic person are being treated as just the usual “liberal optics” or whatever.

        Trying to my best to talk to you like a human here. But when historically any time autistic advocacy and other forms of oppression have a difficult intersection (which they do frequently) the autism side gets thrown in the garbage as irrelevant whining it gets a little frustrating.

        Like I mean, at the end of the day, I’m used to ableism not mattering even in leftist circles the moment it becomes difficult and its not just simple stuff like dont say the r word. And I’ve already had a close friend tell me that my concerns here don’t matter because I’m white and somehow that just makes my autism irrelevant to the equation lmao. Like people fucking HATE actually hashing out difficult intersection and since autism makes intersection difficult on a daily basis its always well just fuck the autistic side of the problem lmao. I’ve seen it happen with feminism, and now here it is happening with race. Whatever.
