Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry

I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

    you somehow ignored the entire point of his statement, then turned his statement around and basically stated the same thing then attacked him with it

    anyway lol at anyone that would be concerned with the low bar of ‘don’t support genocide’ as a purity test

      I think there’s every right to concern when we take that to the extent of “If you dont let the candidate who’s worse for the genocide win and thereby set back every other issue including the trans rights we also purity test over, then you’re pro genocide”. There’s a right way to do that shit and harm reduction is worthwhile

        fair but that’s not supporting genocide

        anyone conflating choosing for with getting along with is being mentally dishonest
